Check your manpage. 

*Mine* says that it should be 

awk -F '\t' blah blah

Where the thing in the quotes could be \011, a literal tab, or maybe in
some versions of AWK, actually a \t.

Or, you could put a BEGIN section in there setting FS to a tab.  But
don't mix the two contexts.  FS is not the name of the switch.
