By "cutting a hole" I assume you mean that you actually want to edit the path of the dark gray rectangle in back?

Select all.

Window→Pathfinder→Divide. Used to be called "Mix Hard" in older versions.

Use the white arrow to select your large gray box, and it should have the correct holes punched in it.
