In addition to what sea said (and to what i wholeheartedly agree):
1) do not use "open-ended" for-loops, because they can have side-effects. Something like (you are effectively doing the same)
will work with several or several hundreds of files but might break with a "too many arguments"-error or a "input line too long"-error with several thousands of files. Do a
instead. This will work with even the biggest amount of files.
2) Never, NEVER use backticks any more. They are outdated and only there for backwards compatibility with other outdated software. Use the POSIX-compliant
instead.
Btw.: i am not sure what you are trying to do but to me this seems to be a search for symbolic links. This can more easily be done by:
