Sure your sophisticated regex to analyse $n works reliably? I'd prefer to determine the number length upfront, and then dissect $n.
You might want to provide a default valuein case $DST is undefined, to avoid creating directories in root.
Thanks so much for pointing that out, now it works beautifully
So far it has been reliable, but i will look into changing it your suggestion.
Thanks again!

NAME
packingrules - packing rules file for cachefs
DESCRIPTION
is a packing rules file for packingrules contains a list of directories and files that are to be packed. It also contains a list of direc-
tories and files that are to be specifically excluded from packing. See cachefspack(1M).
Many users choose to manually create the packing rules file and edit it by hand. Users can edit the packingrules (using any editor) to
permanently change the packingrules file, or to gain access to more powerful options that are not available from the command line (such as
the command). It is much easier to enter complex wildcard expressions by editing the packingrules file.
Following is a description of the lines in a packing rules file. Blank lines and lines that begin with a pound sign are ignored. Lines
can be continued by placing a backslash () immediately before the newline character. All other lines in the packingrules file have one
of the following formats:
This line identifies a directory (or pair of directories)
under which files should be packed. At least one directory name must be specified. The arguments must be fully qualified
path names and may include environment variables.
This line enumerates a list of files and subdirectories
beneath the current directory to be packed. This specification is recursive. That is, specifying the name of a directory
automatically includes all files and subdirectories it contains.
This line enumerates a list of files that are not to be packed.
Regular expressions are permitted.
There are important differences between the arguments to the and the statements. The arguments to statements can contain slashes and are
interpreted as file names relative to the directories. The arguments to statements are simpler names or expressions that cannot contain
slashes. An statement will not override a LIST statement. statements only exclude files that are found beneath listed directories.
If the first name argument to a or an statement begins with an exclamation point the remainder of the statement will be executed as a com-
mand that will be run in the current directory. The output of the command will be treated as a list of newline separated file names to be
packed command) or to be excluded from the packing list command). For the command, the resulting file names will be interpreted relative
to the enclosing directory.
Blanks can be embedded in an argument by escaping them with a backslash () or enclosing the argument in double quotes (` " '). Double
quotes can be passed in arguments by escaping the double quotes with a backslash ().
lines only apply to the statement that precedes them. lines can appear before any statement (in which case they apply to all or after a
statement (in which case they only apply to the that precedes them). Any number of these statements can occur in any combinations. The
order is not important.
EXAMPLES
The use of these statements is illustrated in the following packing rules file.
#
# Ignore junk files.
#
IGNORE core *.o *.bak *%
#
# Pack everything in the work subdirectory and in a few
# favorite mailboxes.
#
BASE /net/bigserver/export/home/myname
LIST work
LIST m/incoming
LIST m/action
LIST m/pending
#
# Pack two important project directories but skip
# all postscript output.
#
BASE /net/bigserver/export/projects $HOME/projects
LIST poindexter epiphany
IGNORE *.ps
#
# Pack the foonly package.
#
BASE /net/bigserver/opt/foonly /opt/foonly
LIST !cat .packinglist
#
# Also pack the latest executables for the standard
# build environment.
#
BASE /net/bigserver/export/buildenv $HOME/buildenv
LIST !find . -type f -a -perm -111 -a -print
