Try bash -x script.sh to debug your code and find the wrong logicality.

You should add double quotes to around your parameter prevent that some directory or file name which included blank space will identify to more than one parameter.

In your code, you should change $elem to "$elem", $PWD to "$PWD", $dir to "$dir".
