Variable syntax problem for SunOS 5.8 using C Shell

I'm getting the error "Variable syntax" after running the script
test.csh with the following contents:

#!/bin/csh -f
set PSDE_ARG=$argv

echo $PSDE_ARG | grep -i "sdk" > /dev/null
echo $?


The above is supposed to look for keyword sdk in the input of the
script, for example

"test.csh hellosdk"

should echo 0 if keyword sdk is found. I was able to run the exact same
script successfully on the C shell of SuSE Linux 9.3 and Red Hat
Enterprise Linux WS release 4. I am aware that C shell is not a very
good shell and I know of the top 10 reasons not to use it but it still
has to be supported. Any ideas?
