The rest looks ok. I would change would be the redirects on your log files. If you want a new log file everyday, then you can rm the logfile at the beginning of your script. The find command will work. I changed the search path a little, but your version should work as well. Your script will probably leave a bunch of directories, /usr/TRS/backup/<date>, out there. I would include something to clean that up. See below for the changes.
I hope this helps.

Code:
#! /bin/sh
Today_Date=`date +%Y%m%d`
log="/usr/TRS/HULFT/movedata.log"
#If you want a new log file on each run
rm -f ${log}
mkdir /usr/TRS/backup/${Today_Date}
mv /usr/TRS/data/T* /usr/TRS/backup/${Today_Date} >> ${log} 2>> ${log}
find /usr/TRS/backup -name 'T*' -mtime +1 -exec rm -fr {} \; >> ${log} 2>> ${log}|

shells(4) File Formats shells(4) NAME
shells - shell database SYNOPSIS
/etc/shells DESCRIPTION
The shells file contains a list of the shells on the system. Applications use this file to determine whether a shell is valid. See getuser- shell(3C). For each shell a single line should be present, consisting of the shell's path, relative to root. A hash mark (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by the routines which search the file. Blank lines are also ignored. The following default shells are used by utilities: /bin/bash, /bin/csh, /bin/jsh, /bin/ksh, /bin/ksh93, /bin/pfcsh, /bin/pfksh, /bin/pfsh, /bin/sh, /bin/tcsh, /bin/zsh, /sbin/jsh, /sbin/sh, /usr/bin/bash, /usr/bin/csh, /usr/bin/jsh, /usr/bin/ksh, /usr/bin/ksh93, /usr/bin/pfcsh, /usr/bin/pfksh, /usr/bin/pfsh, and /usr/bin/sh, /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/zsh, and /usr/sfw/bin/zsh. /etc/shells overrides the default list. Invalid shells in /etc/shells could cause unexpected behavior, such as being unable to log in by way of ftp(1). FILES
