You're correct. That's one error, but not the one causing the message. In order to find the other errors, we would need to know the contents of the $USERSHELLPATH and $USERNAME variables. Also, those should be "double quoted". "$USERNAME" in every instance. Finally, this thing is using sudo to run adduser, but afterward it's attempting to write to /etc/sudoers.d/$USERNAME without using sudo. So, either that write is going to fail, or the sudo wasn't needed in the first place.
