A script to back up files to a single ISO image

Looks like there is a small bug in your script. It prevents the temporary backup dirs from being removed.
On line 52, you cd $destinationFolder/$destinationSubfolder, and on line 59, you rm -R -f $destinationFolder/$destinationSubfolder, without having moved back up again. You don't get any error messages because of the -f option.
