Why are you jumping through all those hoops with echo, mv, etc? Maybe
it's simpler to do:

#!/bin/sh
# Script to retrieve glibc source via CVS as of a certain date
# Includes all addons (e.g., both linuxthreads and NPTL)
# Usage: grab.sh YYYYMMDD
# Creates glibc-YYYYMMDD.tar.gz
mkdir -p temp.$$
cd temp.$$
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/glibc co -D $1 -d glibc-$1 libc
tar --exclude CVS -czf ../glibc-$1.tar.gz glibc-$1
cd ..
rm -rf temp.$$
