[ILUG] Script junkies

[Fergal Daly]

do a

mkdir -p ABC/abc/ABC

and stick an echo in before the mv command in your script and you'll see 

mv ./ABC/abc/ABC ./abc/abc/abc
mv ./ABC/abc ./abc/abc
mv ./ABC ./abc

when what it really needs to do is

mv ./ABC/abc/ABC ./ABC/abc/abc
mv ./ABC ./abc

Not sure why the grep didn't eliminate the middle line but apart from that,
the problem still remains that it's lowercasing all of components of the
filename in one go,
