Why this bash script ends up with error?
This is using a SuSE Enterprise Linux 11 with SP4. A bash shell script was used to do the backup (zipped) from /mm/data1/sqmdat to /mm/data1/Backup. /mm is a cifs mounting of //mmcentral/mm. Please see the attached script. This shell script was scheduled to run as a cron job at 4:30 am daily.
The problem is, we getting a series of "MM Remove Error: DMPxx (CODE: 1)" everyday. If I were interpret correctly, this script is do a check on files for past 65 days, and will "list" those files and then do a "zipping". After that, these zipped files were "moved" to /mm/data1/Backup folder. The last step is, to do the removing. However, it seems that problem happened here, and eventually a mail was sent with "MM Remove error".
Appreciate for the helps.

Hi arnold,
1) the check move error is disabled.
Yes, check move is disabled.
The error is, MM Remove Error: DMPTC (CODE: 1); sent as email to us.
No, this is the script located in server.

zip I/O error: Permission denied
zip error: Could not create output file (DMPQQ.zip)
+ ZCODE=15

I tried "touch good", it shows permission denied. Look like suddenly not permissions, strange.
Appearantly zip files, and is unable to create a file in the $RST_DIR
(And you don't send messages or signal the ZCODE error..., the whole block is disabled).
check if you have access to: /mm/data1/dat
(RST_DIR is used because it is the default and (cd $RST_DIR) and there is no path on the .zip file.)

Yes, verify that is permission issue.

Thanks both experts' advises, this is folder permission issue.
Do you have /mm as a mount point?
1) the check move error is disabled.
You are not checking the file, test -e
Potentially sonething leads to a file going missing, deleted by sonething else.
