As far I can make out from the command used by you as below:

HADOOP_CLASSPATH="${HBASE_HOME}/bin/hbase classpath" hadoop jar /opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH/lib/hbase/hbase
-server-1.2.0-cdh5.11.1.jar importtsv -Dimporttsv.separator=, -Dimporttsv.bulk.output=output -Dimporttsv.columns=HBAE_ROW_KEY,info:id,info:f
name,info:lname,info:age,info:prof customers custs

You are using double quotes (i.e., ") before $. It should not be double quotes, instead it should be backtick which is present just below the esc button in the keypad.

Also the table name that you are using, make sure it is unique. Since if this table already exists you will not be able to execute bulk load operation.
