The problem is that "find" is going to look into that "archive" directory which is in the target directory.

If you look in there, you should see the file IMF_ATRPU_12022010114110.csv.

And your code is treating that like it is in target dir.

Since target dir has nothing but files and that one directory, you could start out with something like
Code:
for file in `find ${IMF_TARGET_DIR} -name archive -prune -o -print `

Unfortunately, this will also place the target dir (ATRPU) in the list of files. I'm not sure how to get rid of this with the find command but you should be able to easily account for this within the body of the for loop or within the archive_file function.
