I don't see a 'paths keyword' in your code. Assuming that you have your list of file names in a file called filename-file and that your target systems are something 1 through 3, then you could use something along these lines:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/env ksh
while read filename
do
    for (( k = 1; k < 4; k++ ))
    do
        echo "copy $filename to node($k)"
    done
done <filename-file



This reads each file from filename-file into the variable filename (assuming one per line) and then will write three copy lines per file to the standard output. I assume you'd replace the echo with the actual command to copy the file to the remote node.

This should also work in bash should you prefer that shell.

Hope this at least gets you started.
