1.1.7: Problem when "sourcing" shell files

I Have a simple problem with setting env variables in a shell and making
them available to my shell.
I Just Have this script (xx.sh)
#!/bin/bash
if [ "a" = "a" ]; then
export HELLO1=WORLD1
echo $HELLO1
fi
echo "End"
#### END SCRIPT ######
If I execute it with the "." before the command to make the HELLO1 variable
recognised in my bash session when the script finish. The execution gives
the following error
malves> . xx.sh
bash: /disk2/data/malves/bin/xx.sh: line 9: syntax error: unexpected end of
file
If if execute it without the "."
malves> xx.sh
WORLD1
End
I don't get any problems.
I'am sure that this is a very stupid error how can I solve this.
TIA,
Miguel Alves
