Try
Code:
 ls x.*|sort -nt. -k3,3| while read fn; do echo mv -fv $fn ${fn%.*}.$((++i)); done
mv: `x.log.1' and `x.log.1' are the same file
`x.log.3' -> `x.log.2'
`x.log.5' -> `x.log.3'
`x.log.7' -> `x.log.4'
`x.log.9' -> `x.log.5'
`x.log.11' -> `x.log.6'
`x.log.13' -> `x.log.7'
`x.log.15' -> `x.log.8'
`x.log.17' -> `x.log.9'

You can skip the sort if file ordering doesn't matter.

Sorry, I missed the fact you are running ksh. Above example works in bash.

FSTRACE_CLEAR(8)					       AFS Command Reference						  FSTRACE_CLEAR(8)

NAME

       fstrace_clear - Clears the trace log

SYNOPSIS

       fstrace clear [-set <set name>+]

	   Names the event set for which to clear the associated trace log.  The only acceptable value is "cm" (for which the associated trace log
	   is "cmfx"). Provide either this argument or the -log argument, or omit both to clear the "cmfx" log by default.

       -log <log name>+

	   clear the "cmfx" log by default.

EXAMPLES

       The following command clears the "cmfx" trace log on the local machine:
