Could have been lost when copy/pasting the script. Compare above error message to this:
Code:
cat file1 | gzip -9 > /point_de_montage/$(date '+%Y%m%d')-wiki-db.sql.gz
bash: /point_de_montage/$(date '+%Y%m%d')-wiki-db.sql.gz: No such file or directory

If you now imagine a <CR> after the ".gz", you'll have exactly the line posted.
