I'm afraid your post contains new errors that were not in the original post and some of the errors from the original post.
One line to highlight is:
This does not match the requirement. There is only one file to copy. The statement is completely pointless.
Though not relevant here it is also a classic scripting error to dump an open-ended list of filenames into a single environment variable.
On a positive note, it does tackle the issue of the missing solidus between ${LIST_FILE_PATH} and ${FILE_NAME} by appending a solidus to ${LIST_FILE_PATH} and has also got rid of the pointless trailing semi-colon characters.
One possible source of the "[[" error message could be if the script file was edited on a Microsoft platform and then copied to a unix platform without proper conversion.

Hello. Complete newbie over here, and I'm hoping you can help me out with this problem.
The script copies a file to a directory within my home dir.
Permissions are ok and the source file exists. If I execute the cp command from the command line or hardcode the path/file name, it works.
