If it's not entering the if statement then the test condition is not true or it is not satisfied. [ -d $aaa/bbb/ccc/hhh ]. Before running the script check if those directories exist and also make sure variable $aaa has got some value.

Or better, make it a part of your script:

Code:
if [[ -z $aaa ]]
then
   echo "$(date) variable aaa is undefined and must contain a valid directory"
fi
if [[ ! -d $aaa ]]
then
   echo "$(date) variable aaa must contain a valid directory; it does not: $aaa"
fi
