Find and move files parsed from cvs file
I need help with a bash script.
We have a directory of files which need to be renamed and moved to another directory based on filename information in a cvs file.

The contents of the cvs file are as follows:
Code:
A102345,abc123
A102347,dfg475

Where dfg475 is the basename without extension

Our source folder is:
Code:
Old/A/ABC/abc123.ai
Old/A/ABC/abc123.pdf
Old/D/DFG/dfg475.ai
Old/D/DFG/dfg475.pdf

We need to find abc123.ai and abc123.pdf...
and move them to New directory while renaming them:
A102345_abc123.ai and A102345_abc123.pdf

The resulting destination folder should look like:
Code:
New/A102345_abc123.ai
New/A102345_abc123.pdf
New/A102347_dfg475.ai
New/A102347_dfg475.pdf

I'm stuck at the first step of trying to find the files by parsing the csv file.

rancid-cvs

rancid-cvs(1)						      General Commands Manual						     rancid-cvs(1)

NAME

       rancid-cvs - initialize CVS or Subversion and rancid group files and directories

SYNOPSIS

       rancid-cvs [-V] [group [group ...]]

DESCRIPTION

       rancid-cvs  creates the directories and router.db(5) for each rancid group and handles the revision control system (CVS or Subversion) set-
       up.  It must be run after installation and whenever a rancid group is added.

       rancid-cvs reads rancid.conf(5) to configure itself, then proceeds with the initialization.  First of the CVS or Subversion repository,	if
       necessary,  and	then for each of the rancid groups listed on the command-line or those in the variable LIST_OF_GROUPS from rancid.conf(5),
       if the argument is omitted.

       Running rancid-cvs for groups which already exist will not cause problems.  If the group's directory already exists, the  import  into  the
       revision control system will be skipped, and if it's router.db(5) already exists, it will not be altered.

       The command-line options are as follows:

       -V     Prints package name and version strings.

       The  best  method  for  adding  groups  is  add	the group name to LIST_OF_GROUPS in rancid.conf(5), then run rancid-cvs. Do not create the
       directories manually, allow rancid-cvs to do it.
