Some guesses:

Somebody editing the script while it is running.

Mismatched brackets, quotes etc. elsewhere in the script which upset the script and sub-script structure.

The clause (( intRetCd = FAILURE )) looks like multiple syntax errors to me. What is it it meant to do? This line or other similar lines earlier in the script could cause issues at run time.

Two copies of the script running concurrently or another process deleting the file.

Bad character(s) in the script file.

Unprintable character in line
strSpoolFile="/batch/job/temp/acdd223_weeklyReport.txt"
i.e. Such that the "." in the filename becomes a wildcard in the conditional statement [[ ]] but does not work unquoted in rm. More likely if the variable strSpoolFile was used to create the file.

Invisible line wrap caused by cut and paste.

Might be worth examining the script with
sed -n l scriptname
and checking that each line ends promptly in a newline ($) and that there are no weird characters or hidden backspace characters.

Then check the block structure of the script by matching brackets, quotes, if/fi case/esac etc. etc. .

Good luck.

qrun

qrun(8B)                                                                PBS                                                               qrun(8B)

NAME

       qrun - run a pbs batch job

SYNOPSIS

       qrun [-a] [-H host] job_identifier ...

DESCRIPTION

       The  qrun  command is used to force a batch server to initiate the execution of a batch job.  The job is run regardless of scheduling posi-
       tion, resource requirements, or state.

       In order to execute qrun, the user must have PBS Operation or Manager privilege.

OPTIONS

       -a             Specifies the job(s) is to be run asynchronously.

       -H host        Specifies the host within the cluster on which the job(s) are to be run.  The host argument is the name of a host that is  a
                      member  of  the  cluster  of hosts managed by the server.  If the option is not specified, the server will select the "worst
                      possible" host on which to execute the job.

OPERANDS

       The qrun command accepts one or more job_identifier operands of the form:
           sequence_number[.server_name][@server]

STANDARD ERROR

       The qrun command will write a diagnostic message to standard error for each error occurrence.

EXIT STATUS

       Upon successful processing of all the operands presented to the qrun command, the exit status will be a value of zero.

       If the qrun command fails to process any operand, the command exits with a value greater than zero.

SEE ALSO

       pbs_server(8B), pbs_sched(8B), qmgr(1B)

Local                                                                                                                                     qrun(8B)
