Getting unusual error - moving files to another directory
Dear experts,

Im having an unusual problem and its been giving me a bad headache.
I have the script below
Code:
#!/usr/bin/sh -x

ticketinputdir=/IN_DATA1/tickets
ticketoutputdir=/IN_DATA2
YDAY=`env TZ=A12B date '+%Y%m%d'`

for i in INA INB INC IND INE
do
mkdir $ticketoutputdir/$i/$YDAY
files2mv=`ls $ticketinputdir | grep StatData$i | grep $YDAY`
chmod 777 $ticketoutputdir/$i/$YDAY
/usr/bin/mv $files2mv $ticketoutputdir/$i/$YDAY
done

I have even added the "chmod 777" command becuase i keep getting error "cannot access". I am using the "root" user to execute the scripts as well. The output of the script is something like below

Quote:
ticketoutputdir=/IN_DATA2
+ env TZ=A12B date +%Y%m%d
YDAY=20071220
+ mkdir /IN_DATA2/INA/20071220
