There is (at least) one syntax error in your script. Look at the following, quoted from your post:

Code:
#[localuser@localhost ~]$ cat wk7.sh
!/bin/bash
#Read tabc.txt
tabc="cat tabc.txt"
wk7dir=~/"wk7dir"
#Prevents duplicates and errors
if [ ! -d $wk7dir ]; then
mkdir $wk7dir
fi
#Assign appropriate variables from tabc.txt
$tabc | sed -e '<statement>' |\
while read fileuser filesize filedate filename; 
     sed -e '<statement' tabc.txt |\
     sed 's/://' |\
     while read filetime; do
          #Change filesize
          dd if=/dev/zero of=$wk7dir/$filename bs=$filesize count=1
          #Create files based on date and filename
          touch -d $filedate $wk7dir/$filename
          #Changes file permissions to allow read, write, and execute to all users
          find ~/"wk7dir" -type f -exec chmod 755 {} \;
          ls -lR --time-style="+%Y%m%d" "wk7dir" |\
          sed -e '<statement>' |\
          while read filedatestamp
               #Modify file time
               touch -mt $filedatestamp$filetime $wk7dir/$filename
          done


After the first and the third line the "do" is missing and some while-loops are not closed.

It pays usually to break up lines and indent properly. Most problems will become easier to track this way.

I hope this helps.
