- It would be very helpful if you post the error.
- The set -x before the shebang should be redundant and can be left out. Shebang should be 1st in your script and afterwards you can tell the shell what to do.
- There is a typo in your comment: "clreate" should be "create" I guess.
- For the awk question, the basic field separator is any number of any kind of concatenated spaces. So a single blank should be in most cases just not needed to be specified as field separator. If it produces what you want, it is ok. Can't see any syntax error.
- Good you use CODE tags but intendation would be nice too
- In the lines where you use the variable $d you might want to write ${d} since it's position is close to other characters. For better readability and for protection against neighbouring characters.
- Things like "cat $file|head -1" are unnecessary since you could just write "head -1 $file" and leave the cat out.
I don't see more atm since it's early in the morning. Maybe fix the one or other thing mentioned above and show the errors you get please.

CAT(1) General Commands Manual CAT(1)
NAME
cat, read, nobs - catenate files
SYNOPSIS
cat [ file ... ]
read [ -m ] [ -n nline ] [ file ... ]
nobs [ file ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Cat reads each file in sequence and writes it on the standard output. Thus
cat file
prints a file and
cat file1 file2 >file3
concatenates the first two files and places the result on the third.
If no file is given, cat reads from the standard input. Output is buffered in blocks matching the input.
Read copies to standard output exactly one line from the named file, default standard input. It is useful in interactive rc(1) scripts.
The -m flag causes it to continue reading and writing multiple lines until end of file; -n causes it to read no more than nline lines.
Read always executes a single write for each line of input, which can be helpful when preparing input to programs that expect line-at-a-
time data. It never reads any more data from the input than it prints to the output.
Nobs copies the named files to standard output except that it removes all backspace characters and the characters that precede them. It is
useful to use as $PAGER with the Unix version of man(1) when run inside a win (see acme(1)) window.
SOURCE
/src/cmd/cat.c
/src/cmd/read.c

SEE ALSO

DIAGNOSTICS
Read exits with status eof on end of file or, in the -n case, if it doesn't read nlines lines.
BUGS
Beware of and which destroy input files before reading them.
