Ok, let me take a shot at this
If I understand the problem correctly, you only want to copy new files.

1). Manualy do a list of your directory and direct it to a file.
ex:
ls > filelist.txt
2). In your script, replace the find with this.
ls > filelist_new.txt
**** The below should appear in a loop
diff filelist.txt filelist_new.txt | grep -v 'file2' | grep '>' | awk ' { print $2} '
*****
example:
for FileToCopy in `diff filelist.txt filelist_new.txt | grep -v 'filelist_new.txt' | grep '>' | awk ' { print $2} '`
do
cp $FileToCopy <where ever it goes.
done
cp filelist_new.txt filelist.txt



Every time you run that script, you will only pick up new filers.

;o), I only tested the diff part of this script. But, it should work. This is sh shell scripting and not bash.

If your moving files, after I think about all the posts... This wont work, and I appoligize for the dumb post.

text::worddiff::ansicolor

Text::WordDiff::ANSIColor(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			    Text::WordDiff::ANSIColor(3pm)

Name
       Text::WordDiff::ANSIColor - ANSI colored formatting for Text::WordDiff

Synopsis
	   use Text::WordDiff;

	   my $diff = word_diff 'file1.txt', 'file2.txt';
	   my $diff = word_diff $string1,   $string2,   { STYLE => 'ANSIColor' };
	   my $diff = word_diff *FH1,	     *FH2;	  \%options;
	   my $diff = word_diff &reader1,   &reader2;
	   my $diff = word_diff @records1,  @records2;

	   # May also mix input types:
	   my $diff = word_diff @records1,  'file_B.txt';

Description
       This class subclasses Text::WordDiff::Base to provide a formatting class for Text::WordDiff that uses ANSI-standard terminal escape
       sequences to highlight deleted and inserted text. This formatting class is the default class used by Text::WordDiff; see its documentation
       for details on its interface. This class should never be used directly.

       Text::WordDiff::ANSIColor formats word diffs for viewing in an ANSI-standard terminal session. The diff content is highlighted as follows:

       Deletes
	   Deleted words will display in bold-faced red. The ANSI standard for strikethrough is also used, but since it is not supported by most
	   terminals, likely will not show up.

       Inserts
	   Inserted words will display in bold-faced, underlined green.

       All other content is simply returned.
