Public bug reported:
The script provided under "Rotating NFS Archives" fails on the 8th and
9th days of each month with the error:
((: 08: value too great for base (error token is "08")
I'm no expert so please check this, but I think the reason is because
$(date +%d) returns "08" or "09" and when the following arithmetic
comparisons are executed bash tries to convert the string to a number
but the leading zero signifies octal and 08 and 09 are not valid octal
numbers.
The solution is to use $(date +%-d) the "-" tells date not to pad with
zeroes.
