OK,
could you run the following commands (see example below) with your files and post the entire terminal output?
You should preserve the formatting!

1.
Code:
ls -l

2.
Code:
awk 'NR == FNR { ref[$1] = $2; next }
{ 
  if (substr($2, 1, 3) in ref) { 
    dest = ref[substr($2, 1, 3)] "/"
    system("[ -d " dest " ] || mkdir " dest) 
    print > (dest FILENAME)
    close(dest FILENAME)
    }
  else {
    dest = "others/"
    system("[ -d " dest " ] || mkdir " dest)
    print > (dest FILENAME)
    }
}' FS='[.],' Ref.tmp FS='","' REG_InputFileName

3.
Code:
ls -lR

Something like this:

Code:
% ls -l

    system("[ -d " dest " ] || mkdir " dest)
    print > (dest FILENAME)
    close(dest FILENAME)
    }
  else {
    dest = "others/"

stpncpy

STPNCPY(3)						     Linux Programmer's Manual							STPNCPY(3)

NAME

       stpncpy - copy a fixed-size string, returning a pointer to its end

SYNOPSIS

       #include <string.h>

       char *stpncpy(char *dest, const char *src, size_t n);

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       stpncpy():
	   Since glibc 2.10:
	       _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L
	   Before glibc 2.10:
	       _GNU_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION

       The  stpncpy()  function  copies at most n characters from the string pointed to by src, including the terminating null byte (''), to the
       array pointed to by dest.  Exactly n characters are written at dest.  If the length strlen(src) is smaller than n, the remaining characters
       in  the	array  pointed	to  by dest are filled with null bytes (''), If the length strlen(src) is greater than or equal to n, the string
       pointed to by dest will not be null-terminated.

       The strings may not overlap.

       The programmer must ensure that there is room for at least n characters at dest.

RETURN VALUE

       stpncpy() returns a pointer to the terminating null byte in dest, or, if dest is not null-terminated, dest+n.
