Remove the ; from after the 'do'.

Or, better yet, stop squashing all your code onto one line so you can actually read it later.

I typically try to do it in the shell before I put it all into a script. In any event I have everything I need and this script is humming away nicely. Appreciate the help as always.

You don't have to squash it all onto one line when you type it into the shell. It will wait for you.

Correct, but then I press up to re-run it and it's all semi-colon'd.

Yet again.
Please post what Operating System you are have and what Shell you prefer.

Please also post a description of the problem and what output you require. I cannot imagine that trying to parse the output from the id command is a sensible option.
