EVIL - you are moving "FOO" to " foo " (Windows strips trailing spaces, but not leading spaces, so it is really moving to " foo"). YOU ARE ADDING SPACES to the filename. Fix your script so that there are no spaces between "` and `".

I always use $(...) instead; it's equivalent to `...` and much easier to read.
