Network Script doesn't append to file
Hello,

I have a script and it doesn't append text to a file:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
#set -x
if [ "$1" == "" ]
  echo "usage of full text search in files:"
  echo "fts filename searchword"
else
  cd /
  find . -type f -name $1 | tee /tmp/allfiles.out | nl | tail -n 1 | awk '{FS=" "; printf $1"\n";}' > /tmp/filecnt.out
  cnt=$(cat /tmp/filecnt.out)
  cntpart=$(expr $cnt / 20)
  #echo $cnt":"$cntpart
  fd=0
  rm /tmp/af.out 2>/dev/null
  rm /tmp/fl.out 2>/dev/null
  rm /tmp/fg.out 2>/dev/null
  touch /tmp/af.out
  echo -n "start to search in files .."
  while read l
  do
    less $l 2> /dev/null > /tmp/fl.out
    grep $2 /tmp/fl.out > /tmp/fg.out
    fs=$(ls /tmp/fg.out -l | awk '{FS=" "; printf $5;}')
    #echo "filesize: "$fs
    if [ "$fs" -gt 0 ]; then
      #echo "found another file..."
      echo "file: "$l >> af.out
      less /tmp/fg.out >> af.out
    fi
    fd=$(expr $fd + 1)
    if [ "$fd" -eq $cntpart ]; then
      echo -n ".."
      fd=0
    fi
  done < /tmp/allfiles.out
  more /tmp/af.out
fi

the file 'af.out' isn't filled with content although there is something found.
can please somebody help with this problem?

shells(4)							   File Formats 							 shells(4)

NAME

       shells - shell database

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/shells

DESCRIPTION

       The shells file contains a list of the shells on the system. Applications use this file to determine whether a shell is valid. See getuser-
       shell(3C). For each shell a single line should be present, consisting of the shell's path, relative to root.

       A hash mark (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by  the  routines
       which search the file. Blank lines are also ignored.

       The  following  default	shells are used by utilities: /bin/bash, /bin/csh, /bin/jsh, /bin/ksh, /bin/pfcsh, /bin/pfksh, /bin/pfsh, /bin/sh,
       /bin/tcsh,  /bin/zsh,  /sbin/jsh,  /sbin/sh,  /usr/bin/bash,  /usr/bin/csh,  /usr/bin/jsh,  /usr/bin/ksh,  /usr/bin/pfcsh,  /usr/bin/pfksh,
       /usr/bin/pfsh, and /usr/bin/sh, /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/zsh. Note that /etc/shells overrides the default list.

       Invalid shells in /etc/shells may cause unexpected behavior (such as being unable to log in by way of ftp(1)).

FILES

       /etc/shells	       lists shells on system
