bash script reading directory with while and do

[Normand Marion]

In your tar command put your "f" parameter close to your file name and use
the "-":

tar -Zcf file.tar.gz directory

Also I think that your script can be well improved by replacing all your
cd, cp, mv, rm commands with the corresponding features of the tar command.

Although using `date "+%F"` is not an error it could be improved by $(date
+%F) a modern way of using an inbeded command

I hope that will help you.
