When I ran a similar command with userid not defined, I received this message:
# find . -mtime +14 -user $userid -print | xargs ls
find: cannot find -print name
It then goes on to give me an listing of everything in the directory. I can get a similar result with
# cat /dev/null | xargs ls
So it appears that find is exiting on an error and closing its stdout. xarg then processess everything in the directory. I'd recommend replacing the xargs(1) pipeline with the find(1) "-exec" expression and quoting $userid. Also, it can't hurt to add a "-type f" expression to limit the search to files only.
find . -type f -mtime +45 -user "$userid" -print -exec rm {} \;
