It's simply the raw number of files involved, several thousand a day
sometimes....

Some of the cameras, they are not all of the same model, use file names
with spaces in them and xargs gets a little twitchy with it.  

But I think the cron job script is going to be the ultimate solution.  

Thanks Guys!
