Found on the man page for awk:
Any filename of the
form var=value is treated as an assignment, not a filename,
and is executed at the time it would have been opened if it
were a filename. Variables assigned in this manner are not
available inside a BEGIN rule, and are assigned after previ-
ously specified files have been read.

Is this the possible problem?

nseq

NSEQ(1) 							      OpenSSL								   NSEQ(1)

NAME

       nseq - create or examine a netscape certificate sequence

SYNOPSIS

       openssl nseq [-in filename] [-out filename] [-toseq]

DESCRIPTION

       The nseq command takes a file containing a Netscape certificate sequence and prints out the certificates contained in it or takes a file of
       certificates and converts it into a Netscape certificate sequence.

COMMAND OPTIONS

       -in filename
	   This specifies the input filename to read or standard input if this option is not specified.

       -out filename
	   specifies the output filename or standard output by default.

       -toseq
	   normally a Netscape certificate sequence will be input and the output is the certificates contained in it. With the -toseq option the
	   situation is reversed: a Netscape certificate sequence is created from a file of certificates.

EXAMPLES

       Output the certificates in a Netscape certificate sequence

	openssl nseq -in nseq.pem -out certs.pem

       Create a Netscape certificate sequence

	openssl nseq -in certs.pem -toseq -out nseq.pem

NOTES

       The PEM encoded form uses the same headers and footers as a certificate:

	-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
	-----END CERTIFICATE-----

       A Netscape certificate sequence is a Netscape specific form that can be sent to browsers as an alternative to the standard PKCS#7 format
       when several certificates are sent to the browser: for example during certificate enrollment.  It is used by Netscape certificate server
       for example.

BUGS

       This program needs a few more options: like allowing DER or PEM input and output files and allowing multiple certificate files to be used.
