Bulk Command Line Conversion?

[blobbo]

(This is not a question about PDF.)

I used to use this Bash script / command line to use Calibre command line tools to convert in bulk a bunch of files to mobi format.

for f in *.epub
do
any2mobi --dest-profile=Kindle "$files"
done

But this does not work when I substitute the old calibre command (any2mobi) for the new command ebook-convert.

I get a bunch of python errors -

Python function terminated unexpectedly: Input file must have an extension
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Applications/calibre.app/Contents/Resources/Python/lib/python2.7/site.py", line 147, in main
return run_entry_point()
File "/Applications/calibre.app/Contents/Resources/Python/lib/python2.7/site.py", line 116, in run_entry_point
return getattr(pmod, func)()
File "site-packages/calibre/ebooks/conversion/cli.py", line 271, in main
File "site-packages/calibre/ebooks/conversion/cli.py", line 258, in create_option_parser
File "site-packages/calibre/ebooks/conversion/plumber.py", line 594, in __init__
ValueError: Input file must have an extension


I'd be very grateful if someone could help me fix my problem, thank you.

You're aware that the command line syntax of any2mobi and ebook-convert is different, are you?
