Bash to select and save file in new directory

I am trying to select a file in bash and save it to a directory. The below does run but no selected file is saved. Thank you Smilie.

bash
Code:
# select file
printf "please select a file to analyze with entered gene or genes  \n"
select file in $(cd /home/cmccabe/Desktop/NGS/API/test/bedtools;ls);do break;done
            echo $file "will be used to filter reads, identify target bases and genes less than 20 and 30 reads, create a low coverage bed for vizulization, and calculate 20x and 30x coverage for the entered gene(s)"
logfile=/home/cmccabe/Desktop/NGS/API/test/process.log
for file in /home/cmccabe/Desktop/NGS/API/test/bedtools/$file; do
     echo "Start selcted file creation: Panel: ${FUNCNAME[0]} Date: $(date) - File: $file"
     bname=$(basename $file)
     pref=${bname%%.txt}
     while read -r file; do mv "$file" /home/cmccabe/Desktop/NGS/panels/reads/${pref}_OTHER.txt ; done
     echo "End selected file creation: $(date) - File: $file"
done >> "$logfile"

NAME
rbash - restricted bash, see bash(1) RESTRICTED SHELL
If bash is started with the name rbash, or the -r option is supplied at invocation, the shell becomes restricted. A restricted shell is used to set up an environment more controlled than the standard shell. It behaves identically to bash with the exception that the follow- ing are disallowed or not performed: o changing directories with cd o setting or unsetting the values of SHELL, PATH, ENV, or BASH_ENV o specifying command names containing / o specifying a file name containing a / as an argument to the . builtin command o specifying a filename containing a slash as an argument to the -p option to the hash builtin command o importing function definitions from the shell environment at startup o parsing the value of SHELLOPTS from the shell environment at startup o redirecting output using the >, >|, <>, >&, &>, and >> redirection operators o using the exec builtin command to replace the shell with another command o adding or deleting builtin commands with the -f and -d options to the enable builtin command o using the enable builtin command to enable disabled shell builtins o specifying the -p option to the command builtin command o turning off restricted mode with set +r or set +o restricted. These restrictions are enforced after any startup files are read. When a command that is found to be a shell script is executed, rbash turns off any restrictions in the shell spawned to execute the script. SEE ALSO
