I was about to call it a day when I got your email notifications. The line it's
talking about is:

echo "$NEW_PWM" > "$FILE_PWM"

So it looks like the "$FILE_PWM" variable is not valid. Remember, you have to
change the variables under the comment "hwmon paths, hardcoded for one amdgpu
card, adjust as needed" to whatever your system requires. To debug the
variables I would execute the 4 lines that set HWMON, FILE_PWM, FILE_FANMODE,
and FILE_TEMP from terminal and see where things are going wrong. I have to go
now but I'll try to help you more tomorrow if you're still having problems. But
once you have those variables set correctly the script should work. Here's what
the service status output looks like on my system:

   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/amdgpu-fancontrol.service; enabled;
vendor preset: disabled)
