Thanks for the reply. I would have been at this for at least an hour of, "What the heck? Its all 'newer than' comparisons? How did that guy do it?" :) The command found a number of files claiming to have a date of 1903 and 1933. They were all files that I migrated over from the last server via "tar czvpf archivename -C original-directory" commands. I don't know if this has anything to do with it. I'm mentioning it in case someone comes across our posts in a search and they need to find the solution to this same problem. Thanks a bunch, Jaime
