And, in that trace output do you see that the if test is always failing as shown in red above because fnmatch is being set to two values as shown in orange and then compared to $pdf which only contains a single value?

And, note that your copy command:
Code:
   cp $dir/$pdf.pdf $dir/$fmatch

can't do what you want it to do if $fmatch expands to two directory names.

Does this tell you what you need to do next?
