You don't need to use goto's in linux shell so do something like this:

if [ -a nodelist.${num} ]; then
  cp nodelist.${num} /home/fido/makenl/z115fake/
else
  cp nodelist.${oldnum} /home/fido/makenl/z115fake/
fi

# some other linux command and functions for check and move files here under.

Ok, except for copy -> cp and you forgot the destination of the copy! ;)
