Bug Syntax error near unexpected token `('

Guys ,

This is an output of my script errored out for "Syntax error near unexpected token `(' " Can someone tell me whats wrong with my script.
Below is my original script pasted.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
Script Creation Date 01/21/2010
Author baraghun

##****************************************************************
##  **********  FUNCTION USAGE  ***********
##****************************************************************


Script name without path

BASENAME=`basename $0`

Script Location

LOCATION=/home/myHome

The INFILE is going to use during the SSH

INFILE=${HOME}/config/inFile.txt

The changes will write to OUTFILE

OUTFILE=${HOME}/out/outFile

Functional Usage

usage() {
        echo
        echo "USAGE"
        echo "   "`basename $0`" <device> <disable|enable> "
        echo
        exit
        }
        echo
        echo    
        echo " Preparing to service at request to Device ${1} in Question . "
        echo
        echo

Firewall() {

      #Local Variables
      #
       local STATE="$1"
      #

cat << EOF > $INFILE

show
exit
exit
exit
EOF
}

#
#Validate the device name
#
echo $1 | egrep "^(cmox|pmox|tmox)[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]\-ra$" > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
   echo
   echo "Node doesn't exist"
   echo
else
   echo
   echo "Node does exist"
   echo
fi

DPDEVICE="$1"

# Check the  parameters
#

# Check the input parameters
#
case $2 in
         disable)
                Firewall disabled
                echo " Disabling the Device in few seconds "
        ;;
         enable)
                Firewall enabled
                echo " Enabling the Device in few seconds "
        ;;
        *)
                usage
        ;;
esac

#
# Apply the changes
#
DATE=`date`
ssh -T ${DPDEVICE} < $INFILE >> $OUTFILE
if [$? -eq 0]
then
   echo " Report Logging . . "
   mv -if $OUTFILE $OUTFILE(date +%y%m%d-%H%M%S).${DPDEVICE}
else
   echo " Conection error.Please Validate the NODE name"
fi

#
#
chmod 755 ${OUTFILE}

The Output of the script is something like this , given below



Code:
 

$ ./routing.sh cmox2222-ra enable

**********************************************************************
 Preparing to service at request to Device cmox2222-ra in Question . . .
**********************************************************************


Node does exist

 Enabling the Device in few seconds
./routing.sh: line 107: syntax error near unexpected token `('
./routing.sh: line 107: `   mv -if $OUTFILE $OUTFILE(date +%y%m%d-%H%M%S).${DPDEVICE}'

Just Because of the above error the log file is not getting created & also not in the desired format. Can some one suggest me .. what needs to be changed or manipulated in the above script
