I managed to get it working by adding this function.
Code:
cleanup ()
{
    echo "=======================================" >> $LOG2
    echo "==    Cleaning up old sent files     ==" >> $LOG2
    echo "=======================================" >> $LOG2
    echo " Files removed from $LHOST:$LOUT/.sent" >> $LOG2

    ## Clean up local servers Outgoing folder
    cd $LOUT/.sent
    find $LOUT/.sent -mtime +14 >> $LOG2
    find $LOUT/.sent -mtime +14 -exec rm {} \;

    ## Create the .history folder
    cat /dev/null > $LIN/.history/.list
    cd $LIN
    for history in `ls` ; do
        touch $LIN/.history/$history
    done

    exec 4>&1
    ftp -n >&4 2>&1 |&

    pid5=$!
    print -p open $RHOST
    print -p user $USER $PASSWD
    print -p binary
    print -p cd $ROUT/.sent
    cd $LIN/.history
    find $LIN/.history -mtime +14 >> $LIN/.history/.list
    for old in `cat $LIN/.history/.list` ; do
        print -p delete $old    # Delete file from remote server
        rm $old                 # Delete file from local folder
    done
    print -p bye
    wait $pid5

    echo " Files removed from $RHOST:$ROUT/.sent" >> $LOG2
    cat $LIN/.history/.list >> $LOG2
    echo "" >> $LOG2
}

LOG2(3) 						     Linux Programmer's Manual							   LOG2(3)

NAME

       log2, log2f, log2l - base-2 logarithmic function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <math.h>

       double log2(double x);
       float log2f(float x);
       long double log2l(long double x);

       Link with -lm.

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       log2(), log2f(), log2l():
	   _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600 || _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L;
	   or cc -std=c99

DESCRIPTION

       The log2() function returns the base 2 logarithm of x.

RETURN VALUE

       On success, these functions return the base 2 logarithm of x.

       For special cases, including where x is 0, 1, negative, infinity, or NaN, see log(3).

ERRORS

       See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions.

       For a discussion of the errors that can occur for these functions, see log(3).

VERSIONS

       These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.

CONFORMING TO

       C99, POSIX.1-2001.  The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4, 4.3BSD.
