you're not using $site inside this for loop. Do you maybe want
tar --exclude "ffmp/aggrGeom" --exclude "*/base/*" -cvzf
/data/fxa/TEMP/localization.tar ${site}/*
and $sites is not really sites...
EDEX_HOME="/awips2/edex"
sites=`ls -1 ${EDEX_HOME}/data/utility/`
echo $sites
cave_config cave_static common_static edex_static
----
for site in ${sites}
do
echo "Backing up $sites..."
tar --exclude "ffmp/aggrGeom" --exclude "*/base/*" -cvzf
/data/fxa/TEMP/localization.tar */*
echo ""
echo "Finished backing up AWIPS II EDEX configuration files at...
$(date)"
done
