You may not be running GNU utilities. When I work on differnet flavors of UNIX like systems (HP-UX, Solaris) one of the first things I do is set up a development environment to compile GNU utilities for the platforms. The GNU compiler can compile for just about every OS on this planet (and maybe other planets!) You might find it faster to just build a GNU version of find (and then you will be set up for other builds in the future too!!)
The first challenge in this approach is to install a GNU C compiler for your platform. This can be trickly for newbies. However, if you can 'get through it', the rewards are great and very worthwhile.
Perhaps someone else will have a better reply if you state the exact version of find (and the platform).

NAME
kits - Generates setld format distribution kits
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/kits key-file input-path output-path [subset...]
OPERANDS
The pathname of the manufacturing key file which describes the product to be kitted. Unless optional subset arguments are specified, all
subsets listed in the descriptor section of the key-file are kitted. The pathname which specifies the top of a hierarchy of files. This
hierarchy contains the files which are to be kitted into subsets. The name of the directory to be used to store the subset image and data
files produced by the command. The names of individual subsets can be specified by optionally listing them on the command line. If they
are specified, only those subsets are kitted. The kits program assumes that all other subsets for the product have been kitted and that
their images are in the directory specified by output-path. The key file specified must contain descriptors for each of the optional named
subsets.
DESCRIPTION
The kits command produces subset images, inventories, and control files for an installation using the setld command. You need to know the
key file which describes the product to be built, a hierarchy from which the component files to be kitted are to be taken, and a destina-
tion directory into which the kit information is to be placed.
In the output-path directory, the kits command produces a subset image file for each subset and a product_code.image file listing all the
kit's subsets. In the instctrl subdirectory of output-path, kits produces an inventory file and a control file. The optional subset con-
trol program for any subset in the kit is transferred to output-path/instctrl. An instctrl directory is created if none existed.
RESTRICTIONS
Any subset control programs to be provided with the kit must be located in a directory named scps in the working directory where the kits
program is invoked. If no subset control program is found for a subset, an empty one is created.
ERRORS
The kits program was unable to find the key-file specified on the command line. The kits program was unable to find the specified input-
path. The kits program was unable to find the specified output-path. The kits program cannot create an instctrl directory under output-
path. Check that the user has write permission to output-path. One of the NAME, CODE, VERS, MI or ROOT values in the specified key-file is
either missing or has a null value. The master inventory file pathname specified in the MI entry of the key-file cannot be found. Verify
that the pathname is accessible from the current directory. There are no records in the master inventory file for a subset which is being
kitted. Check the master inventory file for correctness of content and format. A subset name specified on the command line does not have
a descriptor line in the key-file. Check the spelling of the subset name on the command line. Check the contents of the key-file. The
compression option was specified in the key-file and an attempt to compress a subset failed. This should not happen. Run the kits program
again.
EXAMPLES
Produce a kit using key file ULT400.k in the current directory to package files from the hierarchy /var/kits/input, and place the results
in /var/kits/output. kits OAT100.k /var/kits/input /var/kits/output
Produce a kit using key file ULT400.k in the current directory to package files from the hierarchy /var/kits/input, and place the results
in /var/kits/output, but create only the OATDCB100 subset. kits OAT100.k /var/kits/input /var/kits/output OATDCB100
FILES
Log of subset packaging activity
