Since you have BASH, I presume you have linux.

Code:
find . -type d -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 | while read DIR
do
        echo tar -zcf "$DIR.tar.gz" "${DIR}"
done

Remove the 'echo' once you know it does what you want.

PACOBALL(8)							      System							       PACOBALL(8)

NAME
pacoball - Binary package support for paco(8). SYNOPSIS
pacoball [-bgftv] [-d DIR] [-1..9] [-a|<packages>] pacoball -e [-ltv] [-C DIR] <pacoballs> DESCRIPTION
By default, pacoball may be given one or more package names as arguments, and for each of those packages it creates a binary tarball (.tar.bz2 or .tar.gz) containing all the currently installed files. For this to work the input packages have to be registered in the paco database. Leading slashes ('/') are stripped from the paths of the files in the tarballs. With option -e, pacoball admits one or more previously created tarballs ("pacoballs") as arguments, and installs them into the system, optionally logging the installation with paco. Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too. GENERAL OPTIONS
-t, --test Test compressed file integrity. -h, --help Show usage information and exit. -v, --verbose Verbose output. -V, --version Display version information and exit. PACKAGE CREATION OPTIONS
-a, --all Create a pacoball for each package logged in the paco database. -d, --directory=DIR Create the pacoballs in directory DIR (default is '.'). -b, --bzip2 Compress with bzip2 (this is the default). -g, --gzip Compress with gzip. -# Set the compression level (speed/quality balance). '#' is a number between 1 (faster compression) and 9 (best compression). --fast An alias for -1. --best An alias for -9. -f, --force Force overwrite of existing output files. PACKAGE EXTRACTION OPTIONS
-e, --extract Extract (install) the given <pacoballs>, in directory '/' by default. -l, --log Log the file extraction with paco(8), retrieving the appropiate package name from the name of the pacoball. -C, --root=DIR Extract the files into directory DIR (as the -C option in tar). FILES
/etc/pacorc - paco configuration file /var/log/paco - default paco log directory WEB SITE
