Question Error with korn shell - arrays

Hi All

I have a FTP script which FTPs few files into an user folder. I intend to keep track of the folder size before FTP and after FTP and print that once the FTP script is run (a kind of comparison, "Before FTP, "After FTP").

I decided to use kron shells to accomplish this.
Code:
#! /bin/ksh

analyse_folders_pre() {

 # List of directories to check.
 dirNames[0]='bin'
 dirPath[0]='/home/user1/bin'
 dirNoFilesPre[0]=$(ls  ${dirPath[0]} | wc -l | awk '{print $1}')

 idx=0
 while [ $idx -ne 1 ]
 do
    tempSize=0
    dirFileSizePre[$idx]=0
    dirSize=0

    for i in $(ls ${dirPath[0]})
    do
      tempSize=$( ls -l $i | awk '{print $5}')
      ((dirSize=dirSize+tempSize))
    done
    dirFileSizePre[$idx]=$dirSize
    ((idx = idx+1))
 done

} ### End of analyse_pack_rel_pre

 ### Main Script Starts here ###
 # List of directories to check.
 dirNames[0]='bin'
 export dirNames

 dirPath[0]=''
 export dirPath

 dirNoFilesPre[0]=0
 export  dirNoFilesPre

 dirNoFilesPost[0]=0
 export  dirNoFilesPost

 analyse_folders_pre 

 ### Script to FTP
 ftp_files

 analyse_folders_post

 i=0
 while [ $i -ne 1 ]
 do
  echo ${dirNoFilesPre[$i]}
  echo ${dirFileSizePre[$i]}

  echo ${dirNoFilesPost[$i]}
  echo ${dirFileSizePost[$i]}
  ((i=i+1))
 done
But, I am getting the following error.
syntax error at line 8: `dirNoFilesPre[0]=$' unexpected

What might be wrong? Is there any better way to do it?
