Hello I'm doing a script for doing backups but i can only backup directories from / any other files for example /etc/X11 cannot be backed up. how do i solve this?

#!/bin/bash
clear
read -p "Enter the directory to backup:" DIRECTORY
echo
echo "backing up $DIRECTORY"

I am trying to give the option to the users to run the script in a different directory. However when the script changes the directory, the mkdir does not work.
I change the directory like this:
case $1 in
"-d")
PWD=$2;;
*)
;;
esac
but when I run the script, it runs in the directory that it exists.

Hey guys, I was wondering if any linux gurus could help add zenity to a script. If anyone could show me what the script below would look like with zenity added to it would be greatly appreciated.
#!/bin/bash
dvdencoder=./dvd-it-encode.sh
if [ $# -lt 3 ]
then
echo \
echo Insufficient arguments.

Here is my program ..
I understand that one technique for dealing with spaces in filenames is to enclose the file name with single quotes: "'".
Why is it that the following code called, "echo.sh" works on a directory containing filenames with spaces, but the program "ls.sh" does Not work, where the only difference is 'echo' replaced with 'ls'?
echo.sh
#!/bin/sh
for f in *
do
echo "'$f'"
done
Produces:
'a b c'
