I wonder if you are running into -- what I consider to be -- order of 
operations issues related to quoting.  I use the single quote around awk 
statements so that the $ isn't interpreted.  So there's a chance that 
the $(...) inside of '...' isn't being interpreted either.

When I've run into these type of problems I usually punt to an eval 
"$(date "...")" type thing and have date generate the entire command 
string that is passed to eval.
