Just a top-of-my-head answer...

> I want to perform a check if the CD failed,

...but your for-loop seems to be one command that gets executed by the
shell. Can't you do exactly what you said, check if the CD failed? I assume
CD returns an exit code you could check? Or even better, before CD'ing, test
if the subdir exists (test -d ?) and if not break/continue/not_sure, to skip
to the next subdir. Or fix the SUBDIR variable to only included existing
subdirs.
