First: screen shots don't help way as much as do execution logs posted in text form, e.g. created by setting the shell's -x (xtrace) option. The latter can be analysed line by line, whereas your screen shot doesn't allow for almost anything...
Second: if you exit anyway after an error has occurred, why not use the shell's -e (exit on non-zero status) and trap builtin?

Where exactly is the script stuck? With all the confusing directory definitions and cding, I can't see a file removal in robert_test as "$temp"/"$base" should translate to /mnt/robert_test/temp/testdirtobearchived
