This is what I'm after. Instead of else ; rm -f ${pt}, maybe do:

else ; find "${pt%*}" ! -type d -name "${pt##/*}" -exec rm -f -- '{}' +

Ugh, typos in my substitutions. should be

find "${pt%/*}" ! -type d -name "${pt##*/}" -exec rm -f -- '{}' +

That's what I get for sending emails when I'm tired.

Am I missing something here? How does that differ from the plain "rm -f ${pt}"? Allan
