Well, fix it! This line executes the output of date as a command with
the dt environment variable set to an empty string. Variable
affectations do not have spaces around the equal.
Also, for scripting, you will want %Y-%m-%d, because it offers a lexical
order. And for maximum reliability, include the timezone or set it to
UTC. I strongly suggest you just use the ISO date format.

Your detox from windows batch scripting was only partially successful.
