Hopefully someone recognizes this error and can help, it's not one I've

complete output? And also the output of find --version?
wes,
On the new desktop:
[root@baetis ~]# find / -name stripes.png
find: paths must precede expression: /
Usage: find [-H] [-L] [-P] [-Olevel] [-D
help|tree|search|stat|rates|opt|exec] [path...] [expression]
Try this:
find / -name 'stripes.png'
Not sure it will do anything different, but possibly the shell is
expanding the dot. It may be worth comparing versions of your shell on
the two systems if this works.
echo $SHELL
`echo $SHELL` --version
