i am not sure as to why that happens, it works fine for me
try the below code

Code:
#!/bin/ksh

InpFile=$1
OutFile="$HOME/my_output.txt"
pattern=$(head -1 $1 | sed 's/Header\([0-9]\{4\}-[0-9]\{2\}-[0-9]\{2\}\)[0-9-]*/\1/' );
sed "/Header/d;s/^/$pattern|/g" $InpFile > $OutFile

When i tried to run the script in the debug mode it was returning the pattern as expected.

Code:
$ >ksh -x hd.ksh head.txt
+ InpFile=head.txt
+ OutFile=/home/my_output.txt
+ head -1 head.txt
+ sed 's/Header\([0-9-]\{10\}\)[0-9-]*/\1/'
+ pattern=2007-12-01
+ sed '/Header/d;s/^/2007-12-01|/g' head.txt
+ 1> /home/my_output.txt

ecaccess-file-move

ECACCESS-FILE-MOVE(1p)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				    ECACCESS-FILE-MOVE(1p)

NAME

       ecaccess-file-move - Move or Rename ECaccess Files

SYNOPSIS

       ecaccess-file-move -version|-help|-manual

       ecaccess-file-move [-debug] source-ecaccess-file target-ecaccess-file

DESCRIPTION

       Allow moving an ECaccess File. When the move occurs within the same ECaccess File System then it is a rename. When the move occurs across
       two different ECaccess File Systems then first a copy is done and then a delete of the original file is done (e.g. similar to ecaccess-
       file-copy ... -erase).

       The source-ecaccess-file and target-ecaccess-file are in the form [domain:][/user-id/]path. Please read the "Shell commands -> File
       Management" section of the "ecaccess" guide for more information on the ECaccess File System.

ARGUMENTS

       source-ecaccess-file
	       The source ECaccess File name.

       target-ecaccess-file
	       The target ECaccess File name.

OPTIONS

       -version
	       Display version number and exits.

       -help   Print a brief help message and exits.

       -manual Prints the manual page and exits.

       -debug  Display the SOAP messages exchanged.

EXAMPLES

       ecaccess-file-move ec:test1.txt ec:test2.txt

       Rename the test1.txt file in the ECFS directory of the authenticated user in test2.txt.

       ecaccess-file-move ec:test1.txt home:test2.txt

       Copy the test1.txt file from the ECFS directory of the authenticated user to the test2.txt file in the $HOME directory of the authenticated
       user, then delete the test1.txt file from ECFS.
