Thanks for the fast response too. This works just about the way I want it. Only one more step required and that's to filter out the lines that have JUST the directory in them. Easy to do though. Just append "| grep \.shp" and I've got Kibbles & Bits (well, the Bits at least) to feed a hungry process.
BTW, that find command looks particularly useful. But I bet it can be pretty dangerous if mis-handled. (like fire; a wonderful servant, but a terrifying master.)
