Sort/move files into folders and rename existing files.
Hello everyone!
Im having a few problems with my file moving script.
Im trying to move files into folders based on the filenames and if a file already exists rename that file.

The files consists of three sets of different filenames. They will be moved/sorted into the folder structure below. The Source and Destination path will always be static.
Code:
OBJECTS/2018/1803/180313/DNG
OBJECTS/2018/1803/180313/TIFF
OBJECTS/2018/1803/180313/JPEG

Example filenames:

Code:
15512-1.dng
15512-1.tif
15512-1.jpg

180313-1.dng
180313-1.tif
180313-1.jpg

2002005-1.dng
2002005-1.tif
2002005-1.jpg


The code below kind of works but there must be a better way to loop through the files than to use two “While do”ť statements.
Another thing I'm having trouble with is if a file already exists, I would like to rename or append something to that existing file. I tried with --backup but all I get is illegal option, most likely due to me testing this on MacOS.

My intension is to run this on my Synology server as an automated task every evening.
When i try to execute the script on the server it complains about the Source path, maybe not correctly formatted?
find: `"/volume1/Archive/IMAGES/UPLOAD/TIFF/"': No such file or directory

Code:
#!/bin/bash
SRC1=/volume1/Archive/IMAGES/UPLOAD/JPEG/
SRC2=/volume1/Archive/IMAGES/UPLOAD/TIFF/
DST=/volume1/Archive/IMAGES/OBJECTS/
{
export LC_CTYPE=UTF-8
while IFS= read -r -d $'\\0' f1
do
    n=${f1##*/}
    [[ $n =~ ^(([0-9]{2})([0-9]{1,2})[0-9]{2,3})[^0-9] ]] || continue	 #5,6 & 7-digits (yymkk) (yymmkk) (yymmkkk)
    p=${BASH_REMATCH[1]}
    y=${BASH_REMATCH[2]}
    m=${BASH_REMATCH[3]}
    m='0'$m
    m=${m: -2}
	
	jpg=${DST}/'20'${y}/${y}${m}/${p}/JPEG
	[[ -d $jpg ]] || mkdir -p \"$jpg\" || continue
    

	cp -v -n \"$f1\" \"$jpg\"
	
	
done < <(find \"$SRC1\" -type f -iname '*.jpg' -print0)

# TIFF files
while IFS= read -r -d $'\\0' f2
do
    n=${f2##*/}
    [[ $n =~ ^(([0-9]{2})([0-9]{1,2})[0-9]{2,3})[^0-9] ]] || continue	 #5,6 & 7-digits (yymkk) (yymmkk) (yymmkkk)
    p=${BASH_REMATCH[1]}
    y=${BASH_REMATCH[2]}
    m=${BASH_REMATCH[3]}
    m='0'$m
    m=${m: -2}
	
	tif=${DST}/'20'${y}/${y}${m}/${p}/TIFF
	[[ -d $tif ]] || mkdir -p \"$tif\" || continue
    
	cp -v -n \"$f2\" \"$tif\"
	
	
done < <(find \"$SRC2\" -type f -iname '*.tif' -print0)


} 2>&1
exit 0

mrename

MRENAME(1)						      General Commands Manual							MRENAME(1)

NAME

       mrename - program to rename files

SYNOPSIS

       mrename 'pattern' prefix [option]

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents  briefly the mrename command.  This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the
       original program does not have a manual page.

       mrename is a tool for easy and automatic renaming of many files.  The 'pattern' is the pattern to search files to rename (quoted  to  avoid
       that  bash  resolve  it),  and prefix is the prefix that will be added to the name of each file. The two alternative options for copying or
       moving files in the new name are explained below.  All parameters are needed, and you have to stay and launch the script in the same direc-
       tory of the files to be renamed. The program should be able to write in this directory.

OPTIONS

       There are only the following three options.

       -c     The option -c will copy each file with the new filename.

       -m     The option -m will move each file in the new filename.

       -h     Display help.

EXAMPLE

       If  you	have  a  directory  with two jpeg images prof.jpg and forp.jpg and you want to add them a prefix like item0, item1 etc..  (that is
       item0prof.jpg, item1forp.jpg etc..) do this:

	  cd /path/to/the/images
	  mrename '*.jpg' item -c

       to copy each matching file into another with the new name

	  mrename '*.jpg' item -m

       to rename each file without keeping a copy with the previous name
