The meaning of the $1 ambiguous redirect
error is that you are trying to redirect from $1
which seems to be empty
$1
is the first argument to the script you are running.
When you execute the script, you should provide the filename as a parameter to the script.
Note: It isn't clear from your question how the script will actually add the users.
