Just cut out the while true loop around the whole thing, think you want something like this:

Code:
file_list=$( ls *.csv 2>/dev/null )
if [ -n "$file_list" ] ; then
  for file_name in $file_list ; do
      echo "Processing $file_name"
      #run some command...
      if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
          mv $file_name /xxx/yyy/
          # run some other operation
      else
          mv $file_name /xxx/error_dir/
       fi
  done
fi
