The problem is in the "for" statement. The `ls -l ...` is evaluated to
to the string "this is torrent.torrent", which is then split at each
space.

The solution is to write it like this:

  for i in $HOUSE/*.torrent ; do ...

By the way, the statement looked correct to me as well. I had to do some
serious debugging to find the problem.
