I was working off an example script which is why the export is there. Now that I know it's not necessary I've taken it off I'm pretty new at this so I'm kind of learning as I go.
Removing the spaces did the trick, thanks! One more question, I'm trying to implement this whole apparatus inside of a loop statement so that I can read all these filenames from a list file. From an example I found online I put together this:
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
listfile=myfiles.lst
for i in ${listfile}
do
temp=`echo $i | awk -F"." -v d=$(date "+%Y%m%d") '{print $1 "_" d FS $2}'`
mv $i $temp
done
The problem is that it works but in the wrong way, instead of applying the datestamp to the items in the list, it takes the actual list file and applies the datestamp to it: myfiles_20090724.lst. I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong in the first line of the for statement where I'm trying to isolate a single line item in the variable $i. Can you shed a little light on the subject?

amflush
AMFLUSH(8) System Manager's Manual AMFLUSH(8)NAME
amflush - flush Amanda backup files from holding disk to tape
SYNOPSIS
amflush [ -f ] [ -D datestamp ]* config [ host [ disk ]* ]*
DESCRIPTION
Amflush writes Amanda backups from the holding disks to tape, and updates the Amanda info database and tape list accordingly. Backups may
stay in a holding disk when something is wrong with the tape at the time amdump is run. When this happens, the problem must be corrected
and amflush run by hand.
-D datestamp specify a datestamp expression you want to flush, see the "DATASTAMP EXPRESSION" section of amanda(8) for a description. -D
20001225-7 will flush all dump from 25 december 2000 to 27 december 2000.
You can specify many host/disk expressions, only disks that match an expression will be flushed. All disk are flushed if no expression are
given. see the "HOST & DISK EXPRESSION" section of amanda(8) for a description.
Amflush will look in the holding disks specified by the amanda.conf file in /etc/amanda/config for any non-empty Amanda work directories.
It then prompts you to select a directory or to process all of the directories. The work directories in the holding disks are named by the
date at the time amdump was run, e.g. 19910215.
Amflush normally detaches itself from the tty and runs as a background process. With the -f option, amflush stays in the foreground. This
is useful if amflush is run as part of another script that, for example, advances the tape after the flush is completed.
See the amanda(8) man page for more details about Amanda.
EXAMPLE
Amflush will search for holding areas associated with the PUCC configuration. After you select which holding area to flush, amflush writes
the data to tape, updates the databases and sends a mail report similar to amdump(8).
