If you do this:
Code:
SRC=/hd1/home/$USER/.phonesync/photos-backup

Then
Code:
DST=/hd1/home/$USER/.phonesync/photos-new

And if your for loop is initialized like this:
Code:
for f in $SRC/*

The copy command cp $SRC/$f $DSTwill end up doing this:
Code:
cp /hd1/home/$USER/.phonesync/photos-backup///hd1/home/$USER/.phonesync/photos-backup/yourfile.jpg /hd1/home/$USER/.phonesync/photos-new
Which, as you can see, just doesn't make sense.

So here's what I would do:
Code:
cd $SRC
for f in *
do
  FMD5=$(md5sum $f)
  grep -q $FMD5 $MD5
  if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]; then
    cp $f $DST
    md5sum $f >> $MD5
  fi
done

As I said earlier, it's all a matter of messing up with pathnames, but this should do the trick.
