The second awk does nothing, even though it's documented.

Looks like that ‘print 2’ should be $2.  Presumably it was corrupted on
its long journey of cut-and-pastes and renderings.  The '' quoting is
also adrift as what's there lumps the AWK with the input's path.

This checks if an A file is present in B.  There is nothing to spot new
files in B not in A.

Both 1 should be $1 to get the MD5 for the path.  And grep's -w isn't
the right way to pick out the line.

    $ md5sum * | grep -w foo
    d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e  foo
    d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e  foo extra
    $

I didn't read further.
