Those three lines are seperate lines in the script called "do_it", right?
Please add a backslash after the first two lines, otherwise the shell
assumes that it has to run three commands, one calles "java", the next
called "--bounding-polygon" and the third called "file=".

Your script should look like:

--- cut here ---
java -mx1024m -jar osmosis.jar --read-xml file=uk-080227.osm \
--bounding-polygon file="MyArea.txt" --write-xml \
file="MyArea.osm"
--- cut here ---

This output supports my theory about your shell script.
