You also need to consider the values of directory mask and force directory mode, either of which might be affecting your results. Set them explicitly and see if your results change.

comment Dealing with script interruption
Comment out the grep for the first run since nothing has yet been processed. Worry about a more efficient implementation if the system really does crash with 250k lines in the file and you have to restart. Editing files_to_process and removing the first N lines would be a straightforward approach, with N = wc -l files_already_processed.
