1) what do you have in log_homedir_rename_failed of the corresponding ID ?

2) for your info :

Code:
echo "$UNIX_ID to $NEW_ID.................Done"
echo "$UNIX_ID to $NEW_ID.................Done" >>log_homedir_rename_success

shoud be replaced with
Code:
echo "$UNIX_ID to $NEW_ID.................Done" | tee -a log_homedir_rename_success

try change
Code:
mv $HOME_DIR_LOCATION/$UNIX_ID $HOME_DIR_LOCATION/$NEW_ID 2>>log_homedir_rename_failed


with (run it in a test environment first so that you can check it behaves as you expect)
Code:
mv $HOME_DIR_LOCATION/$UNIX_ID/* $HOME_DIR_LOCATION/$UNIX_ID/.??* $HOME_DIR_LOCATION/$NEW_ID 2>>log_homedir_rename_failed

or
Code:
cp -pr $HOME_DIR_LOCATION/$UNIX_ID/* $HOME_DIR_LOCATION/$NEW_ID/

and (after checking that nothing is missing)
Code:
rm -rf $HOME_DIR_LOCATION/$UNIX_ID

You could also look for some other find/cpio/rsync command to perform such kind of copy

processcsv.py

PROCESSCSV.PY(1)					      Virtualization Support						  PROCESSCSV.PY(1)

NAME

       processcsv.py - process virt-top CSV files

SUMMARY

	virt-top --csv data.csv
	processcsv.py < data.csv

DESCRIPTION

       virt-top is a top(1)-like utility for showing stats of virtualized domains.

       processcsv.py is a simple Python script that post-processes the output of "virt-top --csv".

       It is used like this:

	virt-top --csv data.csv
	processcsv.py < data.csv

       The second command will overwrite the following files in the current directory:

       "global.csv"
	   This contains the global (host) statistics columns from the CSV file.

       "domainNN.csv" (multiple files)
	   For each libvirt domain ID NN, a file is created containing the per-domain statistics from the CSV file.
