I don't think you actually need a for-loop. From the v.in.ogr man page:

layer=string[,string,...]
     OGR layer name. If not given, all available layers are imported

So, normally, if you don't give a layer all the shapefiles in the 
directory (dsn=) will be imported.

You will, however, need a loop for the v.proj step...
