Because you started the program today, but the logfile entry would match
only the date yesterday?

Your program works for me (with dates adjusted).

BTW, cat is unnecessary and -i is unnecessary and grep can be done by awk.

awk -v d=$(date +'%m/%d/07') '$0~d && substr($0,50, 4) + 0 > 1' jobs4.lis

Also, if there are no whitespace characters in any of the first four
fields you can as well compare against the fields (instead of substring)

awk -v d=$(date +'%m/%d/07') '$0 ~ d && $5 > 1' jobs4.lis
