Using mv in a script

[silentrebel]

Hello I'm trying to write a bash script but I'm not having too much success.
Here is the code for the script I named tr:

#!/bin/bash
path=$1
path=${path//' '/'\ '}
echo $path
sudo mv $path ~/.local/share/Trash/files

Here is the command I used to execute the script:

tr es\ se

Here is the output:

es\ se
mv: cannot evaluate `es\\': No file or folder of this type
mv: cannot evaluate `se': No file or folder of this type

Please note that if I remove the 3rd line from the code, the output is as follows:

es\ se
mv: cannot evaluate `es': No file or folder of this type
mv: cannot evaluate `se': No file or folder of this type

The first line of the output is exactly right; however when I give this to the mv command it doesn't use it properly. I am sure this file exists in the current directory.
Thank for the help.

EDIT: I just realized I stuck this in a very random place. If anyone could delete this, it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm assuming you're trying to accommodate files and directories with spaces in the name. Why can't you just do the following?

#! /bin/sh
sudo mv "$@" ~/.local/share/Trash/files
