`mv $f $_w/$_owner/`
done
fi

1) Lose the backticks. In this context they are neither necessary or desirable.
e.g. `mv $f $_w/$_owner/` becomes mv $f $_w/$_owner/

2) There is no code posted which mentions $VERSION_CONTROL

Is there something specific that makes mv act like this when run from a cron job? Do I have to tell it to over-write instead of create these backups?
What is "act like this"? Please post detail of an example.

atq

atq(1)							      General Commands Manual							    atq(1)

NAME

       atq - Prints the queue of jobs waiting to be run

SYNOPSIS

       atq [-c	| -n] [-q queuename] [user...]

       The atq command prints the queue of jobs waiting to be run at a later date.  These jobs were created with the at command.

OPTIONS

       Sorts  the  queue by the time that the at command was issued.  Prints only the number of files currently in the queue.  Specifies the queue
       you want to use.

DESCRIPTION

       With no options, the queue is sorted in the order that the jobs are to be executed.

       When a privileged user invokes the atq command without specifying a username, the entire queue is displayed; if a  username  is	specified,
       only those jobs belonging to the specified user are displayed.

EXAMPLES

       In order to look at the queue created by the at command, enter: atq

       If there are jobs in the queue, a message similar to the following is displayed: root.62169200.a 	 Tue Sep 12 11:00:00 1990

       The extension specifies an at job.

FILES

       Main cron directory.  List of allowed users.  List of denied users.  Spool area.  Queue description file for at, batch, and cron.

SEE ALSO

       Commands:  at(1), atrm(1), cron(8)
