Trying to interpret your description of your script's behaviour, I'd infer that /home/Rvtools/test.csv exists from the beginning and the while loop is not entered at all. Run your script with the xtrace (-x) option set, and, if you're still stuck, post the output here for further analysis.
Be aware that the cp command fails with cp: target 'YY' is not a directory if multiple *.csv source files exist.
Be aware that the exec command "replaces the shell. No new process is created." (c.f. man bash). Execution won't come back to your above scipt to finish the while loop and execute any eventual further code after the loop.
You might want to check your logics within the while loop, as - once the condition is true - nothing happens in the loop to modify that. Are you waiting for a background process to make that file appear somehow?

while(n) Tcl Built-In Commands while(n)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
while - Execute script repeatedly as long as a condition is met
SYNOPSIS
while test body
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
The while command evaluates test as an expression (in the same way that expr evaluates its argument). The value of the expression must a
proper boolean value; if it is a true value then body is executed by passing it to the Tcl interpreter. Once body has been executed then
test is evaluated again, and the process repeats until eventually test evaluates to a false boolean value. Continue commands may be exe-
cuted inside body to terminate the current iteration of the loop, and break commands may be executed inside body to cause immediate termi-
nation of the while command. The while command always returns an empty string.
Note: test should almost always be enclosed in braces. If not, variable substitutions will be made before the while command starts execut-
ing, which means that variable changes made by the loop body will not be considered in the expression. This is likely to result in an
infinite loop. If test is enclosed in braces, variable substitutions are delayed until the expression is evaluated (before each loop iter-
ation), so changes in the variables will be visible. For an example, try the following script with and without the braces around $x<10:
set x 0
while {$x<10} {
puts "x is $x"
incr x
}
