You see those places where you're using %s and -r with date? As already said, you can't do that without GNU date. That's what you need to fix -- or rather, replace, since it's not broken as much as using programs you don't have.
The lack of good date manipulation in shell scripting's always bothered me, particularly since the GNU options are so obvious you'd think they'd be everywhere. But there's a few tricks. For instance the stat command can print out statistics on a file, including mtime in epoch seconds.

Hi,
I wrote this script to test if the output for DIR1 and DIR2 comes out as I want :
#!/bin/bash
DAY=$(date +%d)
MONTH=$(date +%b)
YEAR=$(date +%Y)

DIR2=$($MONTH$YEAR"_Blast_BC15")
echo $DIR1
echo $DIR2
