I did not quote that you are deleting the parent directory bit intend to delete 'WORKSPACE' inside the parent directory. That said I am looking at your "workspace_setup.sh"...

Code:

if [ "$#" -ne "3" ]
then
        echo -e "${RED}USAGE : script.sh WORKSPACE DATASET_PATH UTT_PATH${NC}"
    exit 1
fi
 
 
if [[ $1 = "" ]]
    then
        echo -e "${RED}Missing Workspace name! -  Provide a name!${NC}"
    exit 1
fi
 
 
if [[ $2 = "" ]]
    then
        echo -e "${RED}Missing path to dataset - SPH files${NC}"
    exit 1
fi
 
 
if [[ $3 = "" ]]
    then
        echo -e "${RED}Missing path to Utt!${NC}"
    exit 1
fi

Firstly '$1' can NEVER be NULL if """$2""" and """$3""" exist. They just shift places so that '$2' becomes '$1' and so on.

Code:

cd ../../../

Ouch! Where does this go in the event of an error?
I tried it and it put me into my root directory, if you need the root drawer then why not call it as cd /
If you know what the absolute directory addresses are then why not use them?
Alternatively use the /tmp/your/directory/tree/ to test with thoroughly and change all sources to /full/path/to/your/directory/tree/
You create links to parents of parents too - ouch!
You are also calling Python scripts which I don't intend to check at this point.
Also '$1', '$2', '$3' are script arguments and if any one is wrong or not present do you not have a failsafe to prevent this scenario?
There are other bits and pieces that I, as an amateur, would not do too.

LEARN ABOUT HPUX

create_directory

create directory(1m)													      create directory(1m)

NAME

       create directory - Creates a directory

SYNOPSIS

       cdscp create directory directory-name [clearinghouse clearinghouse-name]

ARGUMENTS

       The full name of the directory The name of the clearinghouse in which you create the directory.

DESCRIPTION

       The  create  directory  command	creates a directory with the name that you specify. If you do not specify a clearinghouse, CDS creates the
       master replica of the directory in the same clearinghouse as the new directory's parent directory.

   Privilege Required
       You must have the following permissions in order to create a directory: read and insert permission to the parent directory;  write  permis-
       sion to the clearinghouse in which the master replica of the new directory is to be stored.

       In addition, the server principal must have read and insert permission to the parent directory.

NOTES

       To ensure that all replicas are consistent, perform an immediate skulk of the parent directory after issuing this command.

       This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE.

EXAMPLE

       The following command creates a directory named /.:/sales.  cdscp> create directory /.:/sales

RELATED INFORMATION

       Commands: delete directory(1m), list directory(1m), set directory(1m), set directory to skulk(1m), show directory(1m)
