I have a script to format a drive, set permissions (777), copy a file, change permissions (555) and unmount and eject the drive for cinema DCPs. Currently everything is working but I'm getting an issue with chmod. Files copy from source to target drive with proper permissions so I'm not sure what the error is. Script and output below:

Script

#! /bin/bash

#Format Drive

sudo umount /dev/sda1 
sudo parted -s /dev/sda mktable msdos 
sudo parted /dev/sda mkpart primary ext3 1 100% 
sudo wipefs -a /dev/sda1 
sudo mkfs.ext3 -I 128 -L "DCP" /dev/sda1

#Update /etc/fstab

sudo mount -a

#Mount Drive

sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/mynamehere/

#Set Permissions

sudo chmod -R 777 /media/mynamehere/DCP

#Copy Files to Target Drive

sudo rsync -av ~/Desktop/Source_Folder/ /media/mynamehere/DCP/

#Set Permissions

sudo chmod -R 555 /media/mynamehere/DCP

#Unmount Disk

sudo umount /dev/sda1

#Eject Disk

sudo eject /dev/sda1

Output

Information: You may need to update /etc/fstab.

From your output:

chmod: cannot access '/media/mynamehere/DCP': No such file or directory

Quite simply, the directory DCP does not exist until after you create it (using rsync, in the next line).

Since you are running every command as root, running chmod 777 beforehand should not make a difference anyway (as witnessed by the fact that the rest of the script runs successfully).
