Simple awk print

I'm running crazy on a awk problem. The code looks like:

#!/bin/sh
echo "STR: $STR"
CERTSOURCE=`echo $STR | awk '/.++/{print $1}'`
PATTERN=`echo $P | awk '/.++/{printf("%s", $2)}'`
FORMAT=`echo $STR | awk '/.++/{print $3}'`
if [ -d $CERTSOURCE ]; then
echo "--> $CERTSOURCE $PATTERN $FORMAT"
fi

The result will be
STR: /some_directory *.p12 PKCS12 pwd
--> /some_directory *.p12 PKCS12

However, if the current directory contains a p12 file, i.e. alice.p12,
the result will be:
STR: /some_directory *.p12 PKCS12 pwd
--> /some_directory alice.p12 PKCS12
Observe that current directory is another directory than
/some_directory in my example.

Why is the current directory files searched for? What I really want is
to go through every p12 file in some_directory instead. The string STR
is read from a file with the format:
some_directory pattern file_coding <pwd>

Thanks

It's not an awk problem, it's a shell problem. Followups set to
comp.unix.shell.
