would this be more senseable?
Code:
#! /bin/ksh
#
#       This script is intended to be used on AIX 4.3.3 and 4.3.2 ONLY.
#       This will use the backup utility doing a level 0 dump on any filesystem defined for $filesys and update /etc/dumpdates.
#       Arguments:
#               DEVICE = backup device
#               DUMPINFO = file that will collect info to be emailed out
#               MARK = possition on the tape
#

DEVICE="/dev/null"
DUMPINFO=/var/adm/dumpinfo
FILESYSTEMS="/ /usr /var /home /cw_d01 /cw_t01"
MARK=1

echo > $DUMPINFO

for filesys in $FILESYSTEMS; do
        echo "Date: `date`
Filesystem: $filesys
Position: $MARK
Device: $DEVICE
        " >> $DUMPINFO
        /usr/sbin/backup -f $DEVICE -0 -u $filesys
        MARK=`expr ${MARK} + 1`
done
sleep 20
mt -f $DEVICE rewoffl

scsi_stop

SCSI_STOP(8)							     SG3_UTILS							      SCSI_STOP(8)

NAME

       scsi_stop - stop (spin down) one or more SCSI disks

SYNOPSIS

       scsi_stop [--help] [--verbose] [--wait] DEVICE [DEVICE]*

DESCRIPTION

       This bash shell script calls the sg_start utility on each given DEVICE. The purpose is to spin down (stop) each given DEVICE.

OPTIONS

       Arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.

       -h, --help
	      print out the usage message then exit.

       -v, --verbose
	      increase level or verbosity.

       -w, --wait
	      wait for the spin down (stop) on each given DEVICE to complete.  The default action is to do each stop in immediate mode.

NOTES

       The sg_start utility calls the SCSI START STOP UNIT command and can either start (spin up) or stop (spin down) a SCSI disk depending on the
       given command line options.

EXIT STATUS

       The exit status of this script is 0 when it is successful. Otherwise the exit status is that of the last sg_start utility called.  See  the
       sg3_utils(8) man page.
