Date not correct so it changed to current date.
Hello, so basically i have a txt file containing "foto's" named YYYY-MM-DD_HH.mm.ss.jpeg.
But since it can probably not convert it it changes the date to the current date. What am i doing wrong?

Code:
#!/bin/bash

inputDateFmt()
{
   sed -e 's/_/ /g' -e 's/\./:/g' <<< "$1"
}
begindatum=$(date -u -d "$(inputDateFmt "2014-10-27_08.01.01")")
einddatum=$(date -u -d "$(inputDateFmt "2014-10-27_18.00.01")")

while [ "$begindatum" != "$einddatum" ]
do
    bestandnaam=$(date --date="$begindatum" +"%Y-%m-%d_%H.%M.%S.jpeg")
    if [ $(grep -Fx "$bestandnaam" fotos.txt) ]
    then
        echo "$bestandnaam found"
    else
       echo  "$bestandnaam not found"
    fi
    begindatum=$(LC_ALL=C date --utc --iso-8601=seconds -d"$begindatum"+1minute)

done

This is the error i'm getting (basically it is saying that it is a invalid date)
