Exactly how are you invoking your shell script? Did you get any error messages when you invoked your shell script? (If so, exactly what diagnostics were produced?)
There are some syntax errors in your script that makes me very surprised that it works when you type it into a terminal session. Since you are redirecting the output from find into a file (assuming there is only one) with the filename extension .fnr, the variable BackupFile will be an empty string.
I asked what command you used to invoke your script and you have not yet answered that question. Except for the
echo commands, none of the commands you have shown us are valid when using
csh as your shell.
