what a idiot i am, changed it and it now works like a charm -

Code:
#!/bin/bash

cd /vol/cha-work/_ARCHIVE/to_be_archived/audio
dest=/vol/cha-archive/audio

	echo "is this archive for an audio tar press (t) or an audio directory press (d)"
	read option

	case $option in

		t)

			echo "please specify full path to tar file"
			read -e tar

			base=$(basename "$tar")

#			echo "please enter ID number ie ID1234"
#			read id

#			echo "please specify where you want the tar file to be stored"
#			read -e dest

#				echo -e "rename "$base" to "$id"_"$base"\n"
	                       	echo -e "move "$base" to "$dest"\n"
                        	echo -e ""$base" will be removed from "$tar"\n"

					echo "is this information correct, press (y) or press (n)"
					read correct
	
					case $correct in

						y)
							echo "the script will now continue";;

						n)
							echo "please re-run the script inputting correct details"
							exit;;

						*)
							echo "invalid selection, please re-run the script"
							exit;;

					esac

			if ! mv "$tar" "$base" ; then
				echo "something went wrong with the move command, please do manually"
				exit
			fi

			if ! mv "$base" "$dest" ; then
				echo "something went wrong with the move command, please do manually"
				exit
			fi

#			if ! rm -f "$base" ; then
#				echo "something went wrong with the rm -f command, please do manually"
#				exit
#			fi
			;;

		d)

			echo "please specify full path to directory you want to be made into a tar"
			read -e dir

#			echo "please enter ID number ie ID1234"
#			read id

#			echo "please specify where you want the tar file to be stored"
#                       read -e dest

			cd "$dir"

			base=$(basename "$dir")

				echo -e "create "$base" into "$base".tar\n"
                                echo -e "move "$base".tar to "$dest"\n"
#                               echo -e "remove "$base".tar from "$dir"\n"
				echo -e "remove "$base" from "$dir"\n"

                                        echo "is this information correct, press (y) or press (n)"
                                        read correct

                                        case $correct in

                                                y)
							echo "the script will now continue";;

                                                n)
							echo "please re-run the script inputting correct details"
                                                        exit;;

                                                *)
							echo "invalid selection, please re-run the script"
                                                    	exit;;

                                        esac				

			date >> /vol/cha-work/_ARCHIVE/inventories/"$base".csv
			echo "" >> /vol/cha-work/_ARCHIVE/inventories/"$base".csv
#			echo -e ""$id"\n" >> /vol/cha-work/_ARCHIVE/inventories/"$base".csv
			echo -e ""$dir"\n" >> /vol/cha-work/_ARCHIVE/inventories/"$base".csv
			echo -e "how many files = `find . -type f | wc -l`\n" >> /vol/cha-work/_ARCHIVE/inventories/"$base".csv
			echo -e "size of directory = `du -sh`\n" >> /vol/cha-work/_ARCHIVE/inventories/"$base".csv
			ls -R >> /vol/cha-work/_ARCHIVE/inventories/"$base".csv
			
			cd ..

			if ! tar -cf "$base".tar "$base" ; then
				echo "something went wrong with the tar, please do manually"
				exit
			fi

			if ! mv "$base".tar "$dest" ; then
				echo "something went wrong with the move, please do manually"
				exit
			fi

#			if ! rm -f "$base".tar ; then
#				echo "something went wrong with the rm -f command, please do manually"
#				exit
#			fi

			if ! rm -rf "$dir" ; then
				echo "something went wrong with the rm -rf command, please do manually"
				exit
			fi;;

		*)

			echo "invalid selection, please re-run the script"
			exit;;

	esac

basically i changed it from this -

Code:
if ! tar -cf "$base".tar "$dir" ; then

to this -

Code:
if ! tar -cf "$base".tar "$base" ; then
