So what have you done to debug your script?
  1. Have you executed your script with tracing (set -xv) turned on?
  2. You have 19 mv commands in your script:
    1. What have you done to figure out which one(s) is (are) "broken"?
    2. For any mv command that isn't doing what you want it to, how are the variables set that are passed as parameters to that mv command? How should they have been set to have the files be mored to the directory where you wanted them to be moved?
  3. You have dozen of cd commands in your script. Have you verified that any mv command that is not working correctly is invoked while sitting in the directory where you expected it to be invoked? If not, should the script change to the directory you expected, or should the operands to the mv command be altered to set the correct destination directory?
