Help with script

I have created the following script.

#!/bin/bash
#works list is any list that you give it, but it was designed to be used with the entire image volume list.
#for this script to have the most effect please run mobooksfiles/find-remove-empty-ebooks.sh befor running this.
if [ ! $2 ]; then
echo missing arguments$s$
echo rsync-from-file.sh \<works-list\> \<target-read\>
exit 1
fi

TARGET=$2
WORKLIST=/Users/tbrc/scripts/works2eBooks/$1
NOTEMPTY=/Users/tbrc/scripts/works2eBooks/mobooksfiles/notempty.txt
RESULT=/Users/tbrc/scripts/works2eBooks/mobooksfiles/result.txt

exec 3<&0
exec 0<$WORKLIST
while read line
do
cd $TARGET
find ./$line -type d \! $ -name "image*" -empty $ | awk -F'/' '{a[$2]++; if ( a[$2]==1 ) print "/"$2}' |
while read dir;
do
find .$dir -type d -name 'e*' | grep . && continue
echo "$dir" >$RESULT
done
done
exec 0<&3

#if you get rid of this line and the # before java below eBooks will be generated for the files found to have none from the above script
cd /Users/tbrc/scripts/works2eBooks
java -classpath pdflib.jar:. works2eBooks $TARGET $RESULT

exit 0

There are a few things that i dont understand that seem to be happening. The first is when i remove my >RESULT it outputs all of the files to the screen like this

./W2/eBooks/
./W3/eBooks/
./W4/eBooks/
/W5
but when i add >RESULT I still get this on the screen
./W2/eBooks/
./W3/eBooks/
./W4/eBooks/
and this to RESULT
/W5

Why is this happening? (I do like that it happens but am not sure why)

and issue number 2. It was outputting all of the directories that didn't have ebooks to RESULT but after some tinkering seems to only be outputting the first directory that it finds not to have eBooks to result.

my script then generates an ebook for it. So if i run it again it finds the next and so on but i obviously want it to output all of them at once. Any help would be great. And any suggestions on how to make it run even faster aside from what i have asked for would also be great.

Thanks

augparse

AUGPARSE(1)							      Augeas							       AUGPARSE(1)

NAME

       augparse - execute an Augeas module

SYNOPSIS

       augparse [OPTIONS] MODULE

DESCRIPTION

       Execute an Augeas module, most commonly to evaluate the tests it contains.

OPTIONS

       -I DIR
	   Add DIR to the module loadpath. Can be given multiple times. The directories set here are searched before any directories specified in
	   the AUGEAS_LENS_LIB environment variable, and before the default directory /usr/share/augeas/lenses.

       --nostdinc
	   Do not search any of the default directories for modules. When this option is set, only directories specified explicitly with -I or
	   specified in AUGEAS_LENS_LIB will be searched for modules.

       --notypecheck
	   Do not perform lens type checks. Only use this option during lens development and make sure you typecheck lenses when you are done
	   developing - you should never use a lens that hasn't been typechecked. This option is sometimes useful when you are working on unit
	   tests for a lens to speed up the time it takes to repeatedly run and fix tests.

       --version
	   Print version information and exit.

       -h  Display this help and exit

EXAMPLES

       To run the tests in lenses/tests/test_foo.aug and use modules from the directory lenses, run

	   augparse -I lenses lenses/tests/test_foo.aug

TESTS

       Tests can appear as top-level forms anywhere in a module. Generally, the tests for a module lenses/foo.aug are kept in a separate file,
       usually in lenses/tests/test_foo.aug.

       There are two different kinds of tests that Augeas can run: get and put tests. The syntax for get tests is

	   test LENS get STRING = RESULT

       which applies the get direction of the lens LENS to STRING and compares it with the given RESULT. RESULT can either be a tree literal, the
       symbol ? to print the result of applying LENS to STRING, or the symbol * to indicate that the test should produce an exception.

       The syntax for put tests is

	   test LENS put STRING after COMMANDS = RESULT

       which first applies the get direction of the lens LENS to STRING, then applies the given COMMANDS to the resulting tree, and finally
       transforms the modified tree back to a string using the put direction of LENS. The resulting string is then compared to RESULT, which can
       be a string, the symbol ? to print the result of applying LENS to STRING, or the symbol * to indicate that the test should produce an
       exception.
