Bug
1) What you can do here is ...
Just create an array ( i don't know how is your directory structure, from your post it look like there is no pattern so we can get those path).
just give paths in a array.
Code:
path[1]="/eos/uscms/store/user/pooja04//analysis2012/525/data/doubleele/2012/datav1/"
path[2]="/eos/uscms/store/user/pooja04//analysis2012/525/data/"

same as how many you want it to add...

Then use array to perform operation on all paths....

Code:
for i in ${path[@])}
do
PATHNAME=${path[$i]}
...
Your Script...
...
done

2) Second option is you can create one file which stores all the paths you want to perform operations and store it somewhere..

And use that file to get the paths for your script..

Code:
$cat Path_file
/eos/uscms/store/user/pooja04//analysis2012/525/data/doubleele
/eos/uscms/store/user/pooja04//analysis2012/525/data/doubleele/2012/datav1/

while read line
do
PATHNAME="$line"
..
Your script..
...
done<Path_file

systemd-path

SYSTEMD-PATH(1) 						   systemd-path 						   SYSTEMD-PATH(1)

NAME

       systemd-path - List and query system and user paths

SYNOPSIS

       systemd-path [OPTIONS...] [NAME...]

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-path may be used to query system and user paths. The tool makes many of the paths described in file-hierarchy(7) available for
       querying.

       When invoked without arguments, a list of known paths and their current values is shown. When at least one argument is passed, the path
       with this name is queried and its value shown. The variables whose name begins with "search-" do not refer to individual paths, but instead
       to a list of colon-separated search paths, in their order of precedence.

OPTIONS

       The following options are understood:

       --suffix=
	   The printed paths are suffixed by the specified string.

       -h, --help
	   Print a short help text and exit.

       --version
	   Print a short version string and exit.

EXIT STATUS

       On success, 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
