defensive coding is your friend to avoid disasters:
        if [ -n "$foodir" ] && [ -d $foodir/ ]; then
          /bin/rm -fR -- $foodir || exit
        else
          echo "Can't find directory '$foodir'"
          exit 2
        fi

And even this can be troublesome if you mistype a variable name anywhere
in this code.

Or there are spaces in $foodir
