See if this works for you:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
typeset -i mNbr=1
while [[ ${mNbr} -le 24 ]]
do
  mDirA="/mnt/raw_vendor_data/raw_${mNbr}_hist/primary/"
  mDirB="/mnt/raw_vendor_data/raw_data_archive/RAW_${mNbr}_MAY_2011"
  for mFName in $(find ${mDirA} -type f | xargs ls -l | grep May | awk '{print $NF}')
  do
    echo "Now moving <${mFName}>..."
    mv ${mFName} ${mDirB}
  done
  mNbr=${mNbr}+1
done
