Thanks for the input. I reassigned correctly and tried to alter the command based on the interpretation of the gsub.

I simplified it to the below.
Code:
nawk -F / -vz=Peoccam.20140613 ' { gsub("Peoccam", z,$5) ; print $0} '

However, when I execute the below the return gives the path without the foward slashes -
Code:
smenago@sftp02$ bash -x test_app
++ /usr/local/bin/date +%Y%m%d
+ ydate=20140613
+ echo 20140613
20140613
+ test_ca=/home/mdadmin/test_ca
++ cat /home/mdadmin/test_ca
+ for i in '`cat ${test_ca}`'
+ [[ /pub/data/cana/Peoccam == *cana* ]]
++ /usr/bin/nawk -F/ -v dt=20140613 '{ print $5 "." dt }' /home/mdadmin/test_ca
+ new_f=Peoccam.20140613
+ echo Peoccam.20140613
Peoccam.20140613
+ mv /pub/data/cana/Peoccam /pub/data/cana/Peoccam.20140613
mv: cannot access /pub/data/cana/Peoccam
+ echo /pub/data/cana/Peoccam
/pub/data/cana/Peoccam
+ nawk -F / -vz=Peoccam.20140613 ' { gsub("Peoccam", z,$5) ; print $0} ' /home/mdadmin/test_ca
 pub data cana
