What am I doing wrong?

I really just mess around in UNIX, for the most part, when I want to get something done. I can usually piece things together by searching for brief how-to's on Google, but the syntax errors in my following .sh file are really confusing me. I've got lots of programming experience in other places, so geek-speak is fine.

If you can't tell what my code is supposed to do, I can explain it, but I feel (even with my errors) it should be clear. Oh, and I am running this through the Terminal on Mac OS X.

Code:

hommv_path="/Applications/Games/Heroes\ of\ Might\ and\ Magic\ V.app/"
move_dir="~/Desktop/"
maps_dir="Contents/Resources/transgaming/c_drive/Program\ Files/Ubisoft/Heroes\ of\ Might\ and\ Magic\ V/"
total_dir=$hommv_path$maps_dir
folder_name="Maps/"
#
#Creates the Maps directory if needed
if [ -d $total_dir$folder_name ];
	then
	echo "Maps folder found.";
else
	cd $total_dir;
	mkdir $folder_name;
	echo "New folder $folder_name created in $total_dir.";
fi
#
#Moves all .h5m files from the move_dir to the Maps folder
cd $move_dir
for file in *.h5m;
	do
	mv $file $total_dir$folder_name;
	echo "Map $file moved to $total_dir$folder_name";
done
#
echo "All maps moved successfully."

test::unit::assertion

Test::Unit::Assertion(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				Test::Unit::Assertion(3pm)

NAME

       Test::Unit::Assertion - The abstract base class for assertions

NAME

       Any assertion class that expects to plug into Test::Unit::Assert needs to implement this interface.

       Required methods

       new Creates a new assertion object. Takes whatever arguments you desire.  Isn't strictly necessary for the framework to work with this
	   class but is generally considered a good idea.

       do_assertion
	   This is the important one. If Test::Unit::Assert::assert is called with an object as its first argument then it does:

	       $_[0]->do_assertion(@_[1 .. $#_]) ||
		   $self->fail("Assertion failed");

	   This means that "do_assertion" should return true if the assertion succeeds and false if it doesn't. Or, you can fail by throwing a
	   Test::Unit::Failure object, which will get caught further up the stack and used to produce a sensible error report. Generally it's good
	   practice for do_assertion to die with a meaningful error on assertion failure rather than just returning false.
