You left $A out of your format:

Code:
| awk '{ printf "%s %011.f,%014.f,%014.f\n", $A, $1,$2,$3}'

awk printf requires ( and ) around the arguments. You can use the printf command line utility which does not need ( and )
Code:
printf "%s, %011.f, %014.f, %014.f\n" $A $a $b $sum >> ${MRR_OUTPUT}

GNU awk printf does not require ( and ).
