And this is the result (as you can see, it did sadly not work this time either)
Thank you for sending the script you used, and the error messages. Made it clear. As scrutinizer pointed out, your actual directory names are reversed from what you told us. Smilie To make it work with the actual directory names, try this, let us know what happens:
Code:
# Remove .deb.x extension from any directory name
DIR=/var/mobile/Media/Downloads
echo Before:
file $DIR/*

for old_sub in $DIR/*.deb.x; do
  if [ -d "$old_sub" ]; then
    new_sub=$(echo "$old_sub" | sed "s/\.deb\.x$//")
    mv "$old_sub" "$new_sub"
  fi
done

echo After:
file $DIR/*

deb-old

deb-old(5)							      Debian								deb-old(5)

NAME

       deb-old - old style Debian binary package format

SYNOPSIS

       filename.deb

DESCRIPTION

       The  .deb  format  is the Debian binary package file format. This manual page describes the old format, used before Debian 0.93. Please see
       deb(5) for details of the new format.

FORMAT

       The file is two lines of format information as ASCII text, followed by two concatenated gzipped ustar files.

       The first line is the format version number padded to 8 digits, and is 0.939000 for all old-format archives.

       The second line is a decimal string (without leading zeroes) giving the length of the first gzipped tarfile.

       Each of these lines is terminated with a single newline character.

       The first tarfile contains the control information, as a series of ordinary files. The file control must be present,  as  it  contains  the
       core control information.

       In  some very old archives, the files in the control tarfile may optionally be in a DEBIAN subdirectory. In that case, the DEBIAN subdirec-
       tory will be in the control tarfile too, and the control tarfile will have only files in that directory. Optionally the control tarfile may
       contain an entry for `.', that is, the current directory.

       The second gzipped tarfile is the filesystem archive, containing pathnames relative to the root directory of the system to be installed on.
       The pathnames do not have leading slashes.
