Problem with "while" loop in ksh

Please look at the code and output below.

This script fails with a "while" loop, but works with a "for" loop. Note in the output that the "exit 1" is executed, but the script doesn't stop. Why is that?

symbcv list > ${TEMP_FILE}
#for STD in `awk '{print $1}' ${BCVFILE}`
cat ${BCVFILE} | while read STD BCV
do
grep " $STD " ${TEMP_FILE} | grep -q Sync
# 0 = true; 1 = false
if [[ $? = 0 ]]
then
echo "ERROR: STD's in ${BCVFILE} are synched to another BCV." >> ${L
OG}
grep " $STD " ${TEMP_FILE} | grep -v " $BCV " >> ${LOG}
echo "Exiting at `date | awk '{print $4}'`." >> ${LOG}
exit 1
fi
done

check_fs
symmir -f ${BCVFILE} -sid ${SID} establish -noprompt >> ${LOG} 2>&1

read STD BCV

Stewart -
I changed " $STD " to "$STD" in the
grep " $STD " ${TEMP_FILE} | grep -q Sync

This then worked.
