It is happening right here in your code:
Code:
Cnt=`echo $LastNTF | cut -f3 -d"."`
((CntNew=Cnt+1))

Debug Trace:
Code:
+echo tnsnames.ora.11MAR13Cnt=11MAR13+ 
(( CntNew=Cnt+1 ))

So basically variable: Cnt is getting assigned value: 11MAR13 which is alpha-numeric and you are trying to perform an arithmetic operation using it!
