Invalid option errors running shell script
The script below fails with the following error messages:
gzip: invalid option -- 'w'
Try `gzip --help' for more information.
mysqldump: Got errno 32 on write
cp: invalid option -- 'w'
Try `cp --help' for more information.
rm: invalid option -- 'w'
Try `rm --help' for more information.
Here's the script:
#!/bin/bash
nice -n 19 mysqldump --user=root --password=0@9fI6qukyBY --all-databases -c | nice -n 19 gzip -9 > /home/tech/'date +%Y%m%d' -wikibackup.tar.gz
cp /home/tech/'date +%Y%m%d' -wikibackup.tar.gz /mnt/dathomir
rm /home/tech/'date +%Y%m%d' -wikibackup.tar.gz
I thought that would be a common enough error message that I could quickly google an answer but I have had no luck. I appreciate any insight. Thanks!

GZNEW(1) General Commands Manual GZNEW(1)
NAME
gznew - recompress .Z files to .gz files
SYNOPSIS
gznew [ -ftv9PK] [ name.Z ... ]
DESCRIPTION
gznew recompresses files from .Z (compress) format to .gz (gzip) format. If you want to recompress a file already in gzip format, rename
the file to force a .Z extension then apply gznew.
OPTIONS
-f Force recompression from .Z to .gz format even if a .gz file already exists.
-t Tests the new files before deleting originals.
-v Verbose. Display the name and percentage reduction for each file compressed.
-9 Use the slowest compression method (optimal compression).
-P Use pipes for the conversion to reduce disk space usage.
-K Keep a .Z file when it is smaller than the .gz file
SEE ALSO
gzip(1), gzmore(1), gzdiff(1), gzgrep(1), gzforce(1), gzexe(1), compress(1)
BUGS
gznew does not maintain the time stamp with the -P option if cpmod(1) is not available and touch(1) does not support the -r option.
