The echo is in there to stay on the safe side; remove it when you're happy with the "proposed" result.
Am I right in guessing the /V1etc in your sample results is an undesired artefact?

Yes, I am working with bash, ubuntu 12.4.

Will this code rename the files in a batch. I need to rename all the files, inside all subfolders, that begin with "dti". Is there a way I can do the same with a for loop or shopt glob?

Here is a sample of the directory structure. There are many more subfolders but I've only shown 3 for the purposes of keeping it short.
