Thanks Guys! Got it taken care of and I use rmdir ./-_12 and were able to removed it. Can also use cd ./-_12 to get in as well. What really surprise me though is that I was able to create that directory via the script but can't do it on the command line!
Awesome Forum to be a part of!!! Again, thanks for all your effort!

If directory is not a directory or the directory is not empty, prints a diagnostic message and returns without removing the file; use
efi_rm(1M) to remove EFI files. directory should be relative to root of the EFI volume specified by devicefile, not to an HP-UX file sys-
tem.
Options
recognizes the following option:
devicefile is the device special file of the EFI file system from which the directory is to be removed. Without the option, uses the
device file specified in the environment variable if it is defined. The option overrides the environment variable.
RETURN VALUE
returns exit code 0 if the directory is removed successfully. Otherwise it prints a diagnostic message and returns nonzero.
0 Successful completion.
>0 Error condition occurred.
