MacOS isn't supported.

macOS's date implementation slightly differs from GNU date. Simply install GNU date via Homebrew (brew install coreutils) and replace all invocations of date in the scripts with gdate.

Following part of the script

... --datebefore "$(date --date="30 days ago" +%Y%m%d)" ...

should then look like this

... --datebefore "$(gdate --date="30 days ago" +%Y%m%d)" ...
