I'm not sure why I'm getting this error
Code:
mv: 0653-401 Cannot rename *.del to *_20121220121212.del:
             A file or directory in the path name does not exist.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh

gzip -c /home/asandy1234/Sample_20121220121212.tar > /home/asandy1234/Sample_20121220121212.tar.gz

SAMPLE_FILE="/home/asandy1234/Sample_20121220121212.tar.gz"

gzip -dc ${SAMPLE_FILE} |tar xf - 

tgz_file="/home/asandy1234/Sample_20121220121212.tar.gz"
echo "tgz_file"
FN=${tgz_file%%.*}
TS=${FN##*_}

for file in *.del
do
        mv $file ${file%.*}_${TS}.del
done

It does that because there are no files ending with .del in the current path. When that happens, the filename is taken literally as "*.del" instead of expanding into a list of filenames.

Thanks for the help, the problem was with the way .tar file was created( it had an extra folder structure)...
