Changed it up a bit, and added the directory testing... (Remember to NOT have the script in the same directory, or it will get moved along with 91 of your 92 files)

Cheers!

Code:
#!/bin/csh

# Here are the variables that you will need to change:
################################################################################
set number_of_files = 23              # This is the number of files that you
                                      # expect to store in each directory
set total_files_to_move = 92          # This is the total number of files that
                                      # you will move with this utility
set source_dir = ./                   # set to 'current' directory
set target_dir = ./DTI                # This is the prefix that you'll use for
                                      # the folder tree.

# Here are the 'static' variables that you will not change:
################################################################################
#this number will increment the count cap
set count = 0
#iteration counters
set folder_counter = 1  # Starts at one, such that multiplication issues don't arise
set counter = 0

# Get your list of files
foreach file ( `ls -tr $source_dir` )
   @ counter = $counter + 1
   @ count = $number_of_files * $folder_counter

   # Test to see if the first target directory exists
   if (! -d $target_dir$folder_counter ) then
      mkdir $target_dir$folder_counter
   endif

# Test to see if the maximum number of files to move have been moved
   if ($counter > ($total_files_to_move)) then
      exit
   endif


   # Check to see if you should move on to the next folder or not...
   if ($counter > $count) then
      @ folder_counter++

      # Test to see if subsequent target directory exists
      if (! -d $target_dir$folder_counter ) then
         mkdir $target_dir$folder_counter
      endif

      mv $source_dir/$file $target_dir$folder_counter/$file
   endif

   # Since you didn't need to increment the folder_counter - move the file as if nothing happened...
   if ($counter <= ($count)) then
      mv $source_dir/$file $target_dir$folder_counter/$file
   endif
end

bind2csv2

BIND2CSV2(1)							 MaraDNS reference						      BIND2CSV2(1)

NAME

       bind2csv2 - convert zone files from BIND to MaraDNS compatible format

DESCRPTION

       MaraDNS 1.3 has BIND zone file support. This means it is possible to use BIND zone files in MaraDNS. This makes it easier for people to use
       MaraDNS in mixed DNS server environments.

       Instead of having direct BIND zone file support, MaraDNS has a script, called bind2csv2, that converts BIND zone files in to the "csv2"
       zone file format that MaraDNS 1.2 and 1.3 use. The zone files generated by bind2csv2 are not MaraDNS 1.2 compatible; MaraDNS 1.3 is needed
       to read zone files generated by bind2csv2.

       bind2csv2 is a Python script, written in version 2.2.3 of the Python interpreter. The script should be compatible with more recent versions
       of Python. The script assumes Python is the file /usr/bin/python on your system; if Python is located elsewhere on your system, please
       change the first line of bind2csv2. Naturally, you will need the Python interpreter installed on your system to use bind2csv2.  This is a
       well-known open source language supported by most modern Linux and BSD distributions.

USAGE

       To use the script, enter a directory containing BIND zone files, and invoke the script thusly:

       bind2csv2 -c zone1 zone2 zone3

       Substitute "zone1", "zone2", and "zone3" with a list of one or more BIND zone files you wish be converted in to MaraDNS 1.3 csv2 zone
       files.

       Once the script is run, you should have files with names like "zone1.csv2", "zone2.csv2", and "zone3.csv2". These files are csv2 zone files
       that MaraDNS will be able to parse. Copy these csv2 zone files to a place where MaraDNS can find the zone files.

       Should there already be a "zone1.csv2" file when bind2csv2 is run, the "zone1.csv2" file will be replaced.

OPTIONS

       None. Bind2csv2 can only be used as above.

BUGS

       bind2csv2 is not a perfect zone file converter. In particular, bind2csv2 does not act like BIND when NS records have different TTLs. Please
       make sure all NS records in your BIND zone files have the same TTL.

       In addition, bind2csv2 also does not support all resource record types that BIND supports. Only the following RRs are supported by
       bind2csv2: A AAAA AFSDB CNAME GPOS HINFO ISDN LOC MB MD MF MG MINFO MR MX NS NSAP PTR PX RP RT SOA SPF SRV TXT WKS X25
