I would bet on the second reason, path to executables.
As there is no path setting in your script it will probably fail 
finding the mv and the date command, which are executables and 
not shell-builtin-commands, you can verify that by typing "which mv",
what'll give you the path to mv. on my linux-system they live in /bin/

have a nice day
