There was an error message for "basename", not sure why (beginner)...

I received some more help and have this script:

Code:
#!/bin/sh
DST_DIR=/home/myname/Output/zipped
SRC_DIR=/home/myname/Input/Vol*/*
VERSION_FILE=version.txt
DT=`date +%Y%m%d%H`

for d in $SRC_DIR; do
        cd $d
        if [ -e $VERSION_FILE ]; then
                version=`cat $VERSION_FILE`
                if [ "$version" != "" ]; then
                        for f in `find . -path "*_v${version}"`; do
                                dirpath=`echo $d | rev | cut -d / -f1,2 | rev | sed 's/\//-/'`
                                cleanname=`echo $f | cut -d / -f 2 | cut -d _ -f 1`

                                tar zcvfp $DST_DIR/Proc_Sat-1-${DT}-S515-V${version}-OUNCL-P${dirpath}-${cleanname}.tgz $f > /dev/null 2>&1
                                if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
                                        echo "error in backup" # add better error handling here
                                fi
                        done
                fi
        fi
done

# tar zcvfp Proc_Sat-1-${DT}-S515-V${version}-OUNCL.tar.gz Output/total

any ideas why it doesn't zip the files? It reads the folders and I receive no error message.

Thanks in advance!

NAME
installsieve - user utility for managing sieve scripts SYNOPSIS
installsieve DESCRIPTION
installsieve is a utility that allows users to manage their sieve scripts kept on the server. OPTIONS
-v <name> View script with the given name. The script if retrieved sucessfully is output to standard output. -l List all of the scripts currently on the server. If one of the scripts is active a arrow is printed indicating that it is the active script. -p <port> Port to connect to. If left off this defaults to "sieve" as defined in /etc/services. -i <file> Install a file onto the server. If a script with the same name already exists on the server it is overwritten. Upon sucessfully putting the script on the server the script is set active. If <file> has the extension .script it is chopped when put on the server since sieve names may not contain a '.'. -a <name> Set <name> as the active script. The list of available names can be obtained from the '-l' option.. -d <name> Delete the sieve script on the server with <name>. -m <mechanism> Force installsieve to use <mechanism> for authentication. If not specified the strongest authentication mechanism is chosen. -g <name> Get the sieve script with <name> and save it to disk with a ".script" extension. If a file with that name already exists it is overwritten. -u <user> Userid/Authname to use for authentication; by default, the current user. CMU
