Do you have any spaces in any of the directories that you're trying to 
cd to?  If so, this could be your problem; you'll need to escape the 
variable (cd "$va" for example).  This isn't the best way to handle 
escaped characters but works as long as filenames don't have any 
quotation marks in them.  How are you generating the file "out"?  If 
it's using a command like 'ls', you can add "-Q" or "--quote-name" to 
the command which will automatically escape the paths.
