It's because you're using the old sh ([usr]/bin/sh):

Code:
$ uname -a
SunOS ess038 5.8 Generic_117350-02 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60
$ ps -p$$
   PID TTY      TIME CMD
 17394 pts/6    0:00 ksh
$ todate=$(date +%m%d%y)
$ sh
$ todate=$(date +%m%d%y)
syntax error: `todate=$' unexpected

You should use ksh.

P.S. Try starting the script as ./scriptname.

If you post the commands and the entire output using code tags it will be easier.
