Sorry. I had assumed that your directory names would sort in numerical order, but I now see that they wont. This is the way I'd modify your script to eliminate incrementing i. I also question the fact that you are searching the same file for 'success' and not the file that was just created.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/env bash

i_old=""                    # last directory number to copy restart file from
ls  -d VF_* |sed 's/.*_//'|sort -n| while read i        # for each directory, sort by the number setting i
do
        if [[ -d "$VF_$i" ]]; then
            if ! cd VF_$i
            then
                echo "abort: unable to switch to VF_$i"     # rare, but better to test for failure than to assume
                exit 1                                      # that it will always work
            fi

            pwd
            if [[ -n $i_old ]]                      # not the first directory
            then
                cp ../VF_$i_old/restrt.bin .      #copying the file from previous successful run
            fi

            ./oppre_cT_T < inp01_$i > out.dat 
            i_old=$i    

            #cmd=$(cat ../../phi_0_6_T/VF_100/out.dat | tail -9 | grep -ci "SUCCESS")
            # um, the previous seems wrong as you are always checking the same out.dat file. maybe this:
            n=$( tail -9 out.dat | grep -ci "success" )

            if (( $n > 0 )); then
                echo "Success ($i)"
            else
                echo "Unsuccessful ($i)"
                exit 1
            fi

            cd ../
        else
                echo "Directory VF_$i does not exist."
        fi
done

exit

Also, you were capturing the old directory number even if it wasn't a directory. I moved this up such that you capture i into old_i, and check for success, only when there was a directory.

uudemon(4)						     Kernel Interfaces Manual							uudemon(4)

NAME

       uudemon.admin,  uudemon.cleanu,	uudemon.hour,  uudemon.poll  -	Administrative shell scripts for polling remote systems, cleaning up spool
       directories, reporting status to the system administrator, and routine invocations of the uuxqt and uusched daemons

SYNOPSIS

       These shell scripts reside in the following directory:
	  /usr/lib/uucp

DESCRIPTION

       All the scripts can be run from the command line or can be run automatically by the cron daemon. To automatically run the  scripts,  remove
       the comment character (#) from the beginning of the relevant line in the /var/spool/cron/crontabs/uucp file.

       This  script  reports  status  to  the system administrator. It issues the uustat command to find out the status of uucp jobs. It mails the
       results to the uucp login ID. The script may be modified to send mail to any login ID such as the uucp administrative login ID  (uucpa)	or
       root.  This script cleans up the /var/spool/uucp and /var/spool/uucppublic directories by running the uucleanup command. The uucleanup com-
       mand is run with the following parameters: -C7, -D7, X2, -o2, -W1.  This script runs the uusched and uuxqt daemons in the background.  This
       script  polls  the  systems  listed  in	the  /usr/lib/uucp/Poll file.  The uudemon.poll script should be scheduled before the uudemon.hour
       script. This allows uudemon.poll to create any command files before cron runs the uudemon.hour script.

FILES

       Contains the uudemon.admin, uudemon.cleanu, uudemon.hour and uudemon.poll files.  Contains the uucp file.

RELATED INFORMATION

       Commands: cron(8), uucleanup(8), uusched(8), uuxqt(1)

       Files: /usr/lib/uucp delim off
