Hi William,

Two options: either you can change your lcd to

  lcd /home/webfund

or change your mget line to

  cd $REMOTEDIR
  mget $FILE*

In your original, your mget is trying to create the $FILE* files in
the $REMOTEDIR dir _inside_ the dir you've already lcd'd to.  So it's
trying to create the file:

  /home/webfund/backups/backups/20081113
                        ^^^^^^^^

but it fails because it can't create that second 'backups' dir.

You could also consider using wget or something like that instead.

hope that's of use,
Kevin
