Yep. That was the problem with my script. Thanks for all the suggestions.

That wouldn't be a problem I think. What I'm trying to do is the rename
each file at the end of each month(with the help of cron), tar bzip them up
and move the bzipped file to another machine. I'm now trying to work out
how to use ssh-agent so that it'll ship off the tarred file automatically.
