Because 2 lines above that you're replacing all forward slashes (/) with backslashes (\), which are an escape character on all Unix platforms, not path separators.
And about your comment on why $month is "off by one": by convenience since I don't know when, as you can use the value directly as an array index for month names (as outlined in the documentation for localtime), and you can use it in mod 12 calculations without having to increment/decrement all the time.
The last line, by the way, could be written much more elegantly by using
push and
sprintf

NAME
holidays - prime/nonprime table for the accounting system
SYNOPSIS
/etc/acct/holidays
DESCRIPTION
The /etc/acct/holidays file describes which hours are considered prime time and which days are holidays. Holidays and weekends are con-
sidered non-prime time hours. /etc/acct/holidays is used by the accounting system.
All lines beginning with an "*" are comments.
The /etc/acct/holidays file consists of two sections. The first non-comment line defines the current year and the start time of prime and
non-prime time hours, in the form:
current_year prime_start non_prime_start
The remaining non-comment lines define the holidays in the form:
month/day company_holiday
Of these two fields, only the month/day is actually used by the accounting system programs.
The /etc/acct/holidays file must be updated each year.
