A bit safer and simpler is
Code:
if cd ${directory}; then
  find . ! -name . -prune -type f -name "*.trc" -mtime +10 -atime +5 | sed "s#^\.#${directory}#" | tee -a /tmp/rm_list_trc.txt
  find . ! -name . -prune -type f -name "*.trm" -mtime +10 -atime +5 | sed "s#^\.#${directory}#" | tee -a /tmp/rm_list_trm.txt
else
  : "cd failed, we better don't delete anything"
fi

A solution with fuser, slow but reliable:
Code:
if cd "$directory"
then
  find . ! -name . -prune -type f \( -name "*.trc" -o -name "*.trm" \) -mtime +10 -atime +5 |
  while IFS=  read -r fn
  do
    if fuser "$fn" >/dev/null 2>&1
    then
      echo "'$fn' is in use, not deleted."
    else
      case $fn in
      *.trc) printf "%s\n" "$fn" >&3;;
      *.trm) printf "%s\n" "$fn" >&4;;
      esac
    fi
  done 3>>/tmp/rm_list_trc.txt 4>>/tmp/rm_list_trm.txt
else
  echo "cd '$directory' failed, nothing deleted."
fi
