This looks OK.

What directory are you running in? I'd add
cd /var/tmp
early in the script so you know you're running in a place you have
write access to.

Yes. Actually, I'd do something like:
TMP="/var/tmp/`basename $0`$$"
mkdir -p "$TMP"
cd "$TMP"
trap 'cd /var/tmp; rm -rf "$TMP"' 0
to create a place where you can work, that'll get cleaned up afterwards.
