Re: bash script not working properly

I assume this is in your raymond user's crontab?  It /should/ be running in
your home directory, but maybe you need to add a cd before running mv (or
use absolute paths in your mv)

You could append " 2>&1 /path/to/some/log" to the line in your crontab to
get output/errors into a log to try troubleshooting that way.

Else, I don't immediately see any obvious errors
