noofdirs=`ls *.tar | wc -l`
if [ "$noofdirs" != 0 ] ; then

do
echo $i
mkdir $i
file1=`ls *.tar | head -1`

Try this:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
noofdirs=`ls *.tar | wc -l`
if ( noofdirs <> 0 )
then
   i=1
   while ( i <= noofdirs )
   do
      echo $i
      mkdir $i
      file1=`ls *.tar | head -1`
      mv $file1 $i
      (( i += 1 ))
      echo $i
   done
fi
