You are changing $TZ at the start of the script which affects the display from "ls".
For example:
What is in your system's /etc/TIMEZONE ? If you don't have that file, what is TZ set to normally?
The following technique only temporarily changes TZ and will not affect commands later in the script. For timezones other than UK the offset to get yesterday or tomorrow is relative to your normal offset. Notice that I also state the daylight saving time to match my /etc/TIMEZONE .
