What I have so far, that I imagine should work (but doesnt) is (and isnt very elegant or sane)

Code:
#!/bin/bash

for file in *.jpg; do

set yy = `echo $file | awk '{split($0,a,""); print a[1]a[2]}'`
set mm = `echo $file | awk '{split($0,a,""); print a[3]a[4]}'`
set dd = `echo $file | awk '{split($0,a,""); print a[5]a[6]}'`
set hh = `echo $file | awk '{split($0,a,""); print a[7]a[8]}'`

if [ -d $yy ]; then
        if [ -d $yy/$mm ]; then
                if [ -d $yy/$mm/$dd ]; then
                        if [ -d $yy/$mm/$dd/$hh ]; then
                                mv $yy$mm$dd$hh*.jpg $yy/$mm/$dd/$hh/$file
                        elif
                                mkdir $yy/$mm/$dd/$hh
                                exit 1
                        fi
                elif
                        mkdir $yy/$mm/$dd
                        exit 1
                fi
        elif
                mkdir $yy/$mm
                exit 1
        fi
elif
        mkdir $yy
        exit 1
fi

done
