Ah, that's annoying.

Your script does seem to be a variant of this, which seems to work:

#!/bin/bash
# from http://stackoverflow.com/a/9033109/377125
input="$1"
output="${1%.pdf}-header.pdf"
pagenum=$(pdftk "$input" dump_data | grep "NumberOfPages" | cut -d":" -f2)
enscript -L1 --header='||Page $% of $=' --output - < <(for i in $(seq
"$pagenum"); do echo; done) | ps2pdf - | pdftk "$input" multistamp -
output $output
