Rename files in a directory and move them

I have a directory e2e_ms_xfer/cent01
this contains the multiple files some of which will be named below with unique date time stamps
e2e_ms_edd_nom_CCYYMMDD_HHMM.csv
What I want to do is in a loop
1) Get the oldest file
2) Rename
3) Move it up one level from e2e_ms_xfer/cent01 to /e2e_ms_xfer
3) Process it
4) Move it down 2 levels to e2e_ms_xfer/cent01/done
4) Exit loop

This is what I have below but it does not do step 2 it says it cannot find files of that name although I have put 5 unique
e2e_ms_edd_nom_CCYYMMDD_HHMM.csv in the directory.

Code:
#
#
# Control the Unix processing cycle for uploading
# M+S Nomiated Delivery Days into the E2E database.
#
# 1.0  AM  13/09/2013  Initial Version
#
set +xv
 
# Execute the .profile (coz cron doesn't)
. ~/.profile
 
# Library functions
. $( dirname $0 )/common_functions.ksh
 
THIS=$( basename $0 )
 
fn_banner "Process M+S Nominated Delivery Days files"
 
echo "Starting: $(date)"
fn_writeTrace "starting"
 
 
# Local variables
bookmark="10"
TODAY=$(date "+%Y%m%d")
D_EXTTAB=/e2e_ms_xfer
MASK=e2e_ms_edd_nom*
D_WORK=$XFMSC
D_DONE=$XFMSZ
JOBNAME=$( echo $THIS | cut -f1 -d. )
 
 
fileCount=0
 
# Oracle
bookmark="20"
fn_oraenv
 
# Good to go
bookmark="30"
runControl=1
 
 while [ $runControl -eq 1 ]
 do
   cd $D_WORK
 
 
     # Are there any files?
    bookmark="35"
    fileFound=0
    ls -1 $MASK > /dev/null 2>&1
    if [ $? -eq 0 ]
    then
        # Oldest file
        bookmark="37"
        fileName=$( ls -1 $MASK | head -n 1 )
        mv filename e2e_ms_edd_nom.csv
 
        let fileCount=fileCount+1
        fileFound=1
 
       # Move the file to where the ext.tables expect
        bookmark="40"
        mv $XFMSC/e2e_ms_edd_nom.csv $XFMS
 
        # Invoke the Oracle process to upload the data
        #
        bookmark="50"
        fn_oraenv
        sqlplus $OCS @$SQL/exec_pull_nom_del_date.sql
 
        # Move the file to 'done'
        #
        bookmark="60"
        mv $XFMS/e2e_ms_edd_nom.csv $XFMSZ
       
     fi # file found
 
 
    fn_setHeartbeat $JOBNAME
 
done # while
 
# All done - Cleanup and exit
#
bookmark="70"
fn_cleanup
echo "Complete: $(date)"
fn_writeTrace "complete"
 
exit 0

SMBC(1) 							  Samba Commander							   SMBC(1)

NAME
smbc - Text mode SMB network commander. DESCRIPTION
Samba Commander is a text mode SMB network commander. With SMBC, you can browse your local network or use the search function to find files in a share. You can also download/upload files and directories or create them both locally and remotely. SMBC features the resume capabil- ity and UTF-8 encoding support. OPTIONS
-V --version Displays the version of Smbc. -h --help Prints a help message describing all Smbc's command-line options. -f --flush Flushes all download lists. All files from ~/.smbc/ with dulist* name will be removed. In next run of Smbc the download/upload list will be empty. -l --list Shows all download lists from ~/.smbc/. -s INT --show=INT Displays all items from list with INT number. You can get all numbers from the list executing smbc -l command. -p --sleep Sleeps Smbc. Smbc doesn't download/upload any files when executing even if some file is waiting in queue. -m STRING --message=STRING Receives message from samba. If you want that Smbc receives WinPopup message you must add the line below to smb.conf message command = /path_to/smbc -m 'message from %f on %m' -i %s; rm %s Now if you have running Smbc and someone sends you a WinPopup message Smbc immediately displays it. If you don't run a Smbc all WinPopup messages wait for executing a Smbc. -i STRING --file=STRING Sets file with samba message, usage only with -m. MENUS AND KEYS
