I do not understand the reason why, are you able to explain.
First, I do not see that you piped your output into the while loop as otheus described. You'll need that pipe for $FNAME to make any sense in your while loop. The ' | ' in otheus' example is important.
You need to use command substitution on your "grep" command in the while loop. Either surround the grep command and arguments with back tics ( the ' ` ' below the tilde) or use the "$(<command>)" (with the double quotes) around your grep line. It depends upon your shell and/or system as to which you use.
Lastly, this may just be how you posted the command and you actually might have done it right, but just in case ...
You need to separate out your commands with either a newline or a semi colon. You should not have 'do' 'grep' and 'echo' all on the same line, unless you have semi colons between each different command. For clarity, I like to put them on separate lines.

Hi all,
I am trying to execute the following command:

As you can see this simply finds files from a given path and runs cksum on them.
My problem is this, if i have a FIFO in a directory the find tries to execute cksum on it and gets stuck.

NAME
script - make record of a terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.
The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.
ATTRIBUTES

WARNINGS
script can pose a security risk when used in directories that are writable by other users (for example, /tmp), especially when run by a
privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script.
