to get it to work, the answer has to be simple but i can't figure it.
This is going to be my new backup script, based on an earlier version
that is very similar in functionality except I wasn't using tar, in
that version.
#!/bin/sh

others already pointed out your syntactical errors, but there's one
thing i want to add:
in debian lenny (and previous releases) the default shell aka sh is
bash. the file /bin/sh is a symbolic link to /bin/bash.
however in squeeze afaik the default shell is dash.
so your script starting with the shebang #!/bin/sh will not be run from
bash.
to ensure you want it to be executed by bash (if you don't start it with
'bash filename') put the shebang line as #!/bin/bash (#!/bin/bash -x to
debug).
best regards
