Perhaps the loadfile is not present and the script gets stuck in this segment?
Code:
 +167             until [[ -a ${loadfile[i]} ]] ; do
  +168                  ((direcnt+=1))
  +169                   print "$(date) : the mount directory is empty : $direcnt loop count."
  +170                   sleep 10
  +171             done

This wait loop will be run until the load file is present, but the load file will never get executed seeing as $i will immediately be incremented once present.

Also, you seem to be using two counters $i and $tableloadcnt. You might want to have a look at that. For instance tableloadcnt never gets initialized...

NAME
augenrules - a script that merges component audit rule files SYNOPSIS
augenrules [--check] [--load] DESCRIPTION
augenrules is a script that merges all component audit rules files, found in the audit rules directory, /etc/audit/rules.d, placing the merged file in /etc/audit/audit.rules. Component audit rule files, must end in .rules in order to be processed. All other files in /etc/audit/rules.d are ignored. The files are concatenated in order, based on their natural sort (see -v option of ls(1)) and stripped of empty and comment (#) lines. The last processed -D directive without an option, if present, is always emitted as the first line in the resultant file. Those with an option are replicated in place. The last processed -b directive, if present, is always emitted as the second line in the resultant file. The last processed -f directive, if present, is always emitted as the third line in the resultant file. The last processed -e directive, if present, is always emitted as the last line in the resultant file. The generated file is only copied to /etc/audit/rules.d, if it differs. OPTIONS
--check test if rules have changed and need updating without overwriting audit.rules. --load load old or newly built rules into the kernel. FILES
/etc/audit/rules.d/ /etc/audit/audit.rules SEE ALSO
audit.rules(8), auditctl(8), auditd(8). Red Hat Apr 2013 AUGENRULES:(8)
