File location

I simulated your error and the only time this error occurs is when there are no files of type .Z in the directory where I am searching for the *.Z files. The script that I ran was a part of your code.
Code:
/home/nayakr/ranj/unix_forum> cat chkfile.sh
while read var1 var2
do
zcat tmp/$var2* | grep 'junk' >>myoutfile
done <myfile

There was 'tmp' directory with no *.Z files.
Code:
/home/nayakr/ranj/unix_forum/tmp> ls -l
total 0
/home/nayakr/ranj/unix_forum/tmp>

The content of myfile was
Code:
/home/nayakr/ranj/unix_forum> cat myfile
pattern testfile

/home/nayakr/ranj/unix_forum>

Note that, the file contained a newline at the end. On running the script,
Code:
/home/nayakr/ranj/unix_forum> chkfile.sh
tmp/testfile*.Z: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.
tmp/*.Z: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.

Hope that answers your question.
