Test exit status of last cmd via ssh

see below for a housekeeping script which constructs an ssh cmd using some server/path/sudo info found in $HRINST.
the script should hop to each server and if it finds a file to cleanup, moves it to the archive dir
if there is nothing to move, it should report so and email the output
currently i have got it working to perform the cleanup but struggling at the stage where it should report the error if nothing found.

was trying to perform a test on the exit status of the mv comd and if !=0 then report the error? not quite working as the cmd is issued via ssh. pls help

Code:

cat $HRINST | while read configline

do
        myhost=`echo $configline | awk -F":" '{print $1}'`
        mypath=`echo $configline | awk -F":" '{print $2}'`
        myuserid=`echo $configline | awk -F":" '{print $3}'`
        myinstance=`echo $mypath | awk -F"/" '{print $5}'`
        myyesterdaylog=`echo $myinstance| sed -e 's/_/\./g'`

        echo "Files cleaned up on  $myinstance"
        echo "                                                 "
        ssh -n $myuserid@$myhost "ls $mypath/OrderDump*"
        ssh -n $myuserid@$myhost "mv $mypath/OrderDump* $mypath/archive/"
        echo "                                                 "
        echo "                                                 "

done >>  $LOG 2>&1

echo "Executed housekeeping script cleanup.sh"  >>  $LOG 2>&1

Code:

function TestCleanup {

        if [ $? != 0 ]; then
              printf "nothing to remove in $myinstance"
        fi;
}

       int echo(void);

DESCRIPTION

       curses software echo mode is enabled and hardware echo mode of the tty driver is disabled. The echo() and noecho() functions control  soft-
       ware echo only. Hardware echo must remain disabled for the duration of the application, else the behavior is undefined.
