The actual files are modified and are present at the respective path!
Check this file on your system "/Users/richsark/test-US/dhcp/dhcp.in"

Don't remove the entire echo line... Use this...
Code:
find /Users/richsark/test-US/dhcp -type f ! -name "*.bak" |while read line
do
  awk 'NR==FNR{a[$1]=$2;next} !/^#/ {for (i in a) if ($0~i) sub(i ".fs.us.",a[i])}1' rich-input.txt "$line" > temp
  mv temp "$line"
done
