You guys are really helpful, allow me to make some changes to the code, I will post once more, and confirm that I understand what I should have changed

---------- Post updated at 01:48 PM ---------- Previous update was at 01:44 PM ----------

Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
# PURPOSE: This script is going to view the top 10 largest home directory Folders, then go in each directory and list top 10 largest files.

WORKFILE="/tmp/homedf.work"  # Holds filesystem data
>$WORKFILE                   # Initialize to empty
OUTFILE="/tmp/homedf.outfile" # Output display file
>$OUTFILE                   # Initialize to empty
THISHOST=`hostname`      # Hostname of this machine
USER=`du -sk /home/* | sort -n -r | awk '{print $2}' | head -10`    # Define User
counter=0                  # Sets Counter to 0
######## START OF MAIN #############[/FONT]

cd /home
du -sk /home | sort -n -r | head -n 10 > $WORKFILE 
ls /home | sort -n -r | head -n 10
while read $USER
do 
    du -a $USER | sort -n -r | head -n 10 > $OUTFILE
    let counter=$counter+1
    echo $counter
done 
if [[ -s "$WORKFILE" -a -s "$OUTFILE" ]]
    then
    cat "$WORKFILE" "$OUTFILE"
    print
    mailx -s "Home Folder Size Files" [FONT=Courier New]exxxxxxxl_ixxxxxa@xxxxxx.com[ < "$WORKFILE" && "$OUTFILE"
fi

Now if i understand, you said the counter portion is useless,, so after i take that out, I should be good to go correct?

One Last error when I post the edited code I get this error as well

Code:
ksh: syntax error: `-a' unexpected

I am assuming its coming from the line:

Code:
du -a $USER | sort -n -r | head -n 10 > $OUTFILE

AMANDA-SCRIPTS(7)						    Miscellanea 						 AMANDA-SCRIPTS(7)

NAME

       amanda-scripts - Configuring and using the Script API

DESCRIPTION

       The Script API is a flexible system for invoking user-supplied scripts at various points in the execution of Amanda. This manual page
       describes the operation and configuration of the API. For help writing Script API scripts, see http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Script_API.

SCRIPTS

       This section lists the scripts included with Amanda, see the individual man page for instructions on using them. For complete How-To
       information, consult the Amanda wiki at http://wiki.zmanda.com.

       o   amzfs-snapshot(8), - create/destroy zfs snapshot.

       o   script-email(8), - send email.

       Script properties work just like application properties: they are insensitive to case, and - (dash) and _ (underscore) may be used
       interchangeably.

SCRIPTS OUTPUT PROPERTY

       A pre-dle-amcheck, pre-dle-estimate or pre-dle-backup executed on the client can output property on stdout that are sent to the
       application. If the output line matches "PROPERTY str1 str2", Amanda sets a property called "str1" by the value of "str2", that property is
       sent to the application.
