Is source_dir the name of the directory and does a directory by that name exist in Your current working directory?
Or is source_dir a variable?
Please, when someone asks for a sample of the script, one line is seldom enough and also any error messages You get from running the script would be very helpful.
Otherwise, the possibilities can be just too many.

mrd(1) General Commands Manual mrd(1)
NAME
mrd - mtools utility to remove a DOS directory
SYNOPSIS
mrd msdosdirectory [msdosdirectories...]
DESCRIPTION
The mrd command removes a directory from a DOS file system. If the directory is not empty, an error occurs. Unlike DOS conventions, this
command allows multiple arguments.
DOS subdirectory names that contain the '/' or '' separator are supported. If you use the '' separator or wildcards, you must enclose
file names in quotes to protect them from the shell.
The mcd command can be used to establish the device and the current working directory (relative to DOS), otherwise the default is A:.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: Success. Failure.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables affect the execution of mrd: If set, this variable names the file that contains the name of the current
mtools working directory as established by the mcd command. If this variable is not set, the file $HOME/.mcwd is used.
FILES
Contains the name of the current mtools working directory as established by the mcd command. If this file does not exist, the default
mtools working directory is A:. Executable file
SEE ALSO
Commands: mcd(1), mmd(1), mtools(1)
