I don't know anything about this DS thingy, so pay attention to Dale's
suggestions, except the comment about the missing curly brace:

for (...) blob();

this will loop through and do blob each time the for loop specifies - the
braces are needed if more than one function, statement, whatever is to be
done:

for (...)
{
   blob1();
   blob2();
}

some other observations:
- when you say it doesn't work, does it even compile?  As Dale pointed
  out:
> void write_ds1615_byte(DS1615OP cmd, byte adr,byte dut)

  should not even compile (although I know things sometimes get gnarled
  up when trying to post them).  There were also one or more undeclared
  variables that should have prevented a compile.
- I can't figure out what that shift_right is trying to accomplish
  either (it would probably help if I knew how the DS thingy worked).
  Since I was curious, I got this to compile and tried following
  along with the simulator.  As written, this command (I only looked at
  the first one in write_ds1615_byte) goes and stomps all over other
  memory locations, so I'm fairly certain it's not doing what you want
  it to.  What is it supposed to do?
- the stuff after the while(TRUE) loop will never execute.

>   setup_psp(PSP_DISABLED);
>   setup_counters(RTCC_INTERNAL,RTCC_DIV_2);
>   setup_ccp1(CCP_OFF);
>   setup_ccp2(CCP_OFF);  if these commands are important to your setup, they need to go first.
