Moving Directories Based on Modified date

Hi,

How can I move directories (and all sub directories/files) from one directory to another based on the modified date of the directory?

Currently the existing structure looks like this:

/public_html/media/videos/tmb/34947/image1.jpg
/public_html/media/videos/tmb/34947/image2.jpg

34947 is the VideoID

For instance I want to extract all the video directories that have a modified date of 05-01-2010 through 05-31-2010(may 2010), and place them in their own directory like so:

/public_html/media/videos/tmb/05-2010/34947/image1.jpg

How can I get this to work?

Thanks in Advance

Larry B. Smilie

NAME
Directories - Contains queued requests for file transfers and command executions on remote systems SYNOPSIS
/usr/spool/uucp/SystemName DESCRIPTION
The /usr/spool/uucp/SystemName directories are the uucp program spooling directories on the local system. The uucp program creates a Sys- temName directory for each system listed in the /usr/adm/uucp/Systems file, including the local system. Each SystemName directory contains queued requests issued by local users for file transfers to remote systems and for command executions on remote systems. The uucp program uses several types of administrative files to transfer data between systems. These files are stored in the SystemName directories. They are: Contain directions for the uucico daemon concerning file transfers. Contain data to be sent to remote systems by the uucico daemon. Contain instructions for running commands on remote systems. Contain data files after their transfer to the remote system until the uucp program can deliver them to their final destinations (usually the /usr/spool/uucppublic directory). RELATED INFORMATION
Daemons: uucico(8), uusched(8), uuxqt Commands: uucp(1), uux(1) delim off Directories(4)
