What I can see immediately from your code snippet
Code:
mv "$FNAME".gz $Archive_FNAME mv $Archive_FNAME /one/two/three/five_archive

is that $FNAME is quoted and $Archive_FNAME is not. This may lead to unexpected results, esp. for filenames with special chars in it. It would not explain the changes in files' owner, permission etc., of course. Did you try to run the script with the options -v and/or -x set so you can analyse every single step it does?

You say in your recent post that two processes are working simultaneously on the directory. Have you made sure that the operations are properly synchronized?
