Did you call it using scriptName pass1 pass2?

Does pass2 actually exist in any of the files, since that's what you're searching for?

How do you know it even cycled through the files if no changes were made? Try throwing an echo $FILE on a new line after the "move" command and see if it lists each file in the directory.

That code works for me.
