The "$i" needs to be "double-quoted", or else it will fail on files that have whitespace or globbing characters in their names. You may think "Well that's irrelevant, because I don't have any files like that", but it's a good habit to develop. Playing bash-ian roulette with unquoted variable expansions *will* eventually hurt you.
