That's wierd because it won't work on HP-UX 11i. The -name '*' would be a passin value from user input. It could be '*' or '*TEST' or any other wildcarded search parameter. They can also input whether or not they want to search sub-directories for the input filename(s). I'm setting a flag for the sub-directory search to determine the appropriate find command structure to use based on their inputs. So, if they want to search sub-directories of the initial search path there is no issue because I don't need to use the -prune. However, if they don't want to search sub-directories underneath the initial search path AND they enter an '*" for the filename(s) to search for I run into this issue.
Based on your results this may well be a HP-UX issue. Although I'm not positive of that at this point.

kldconfig
KLDCONFIG(8) BSD System Manager's Manual KLDCONFIG(8)
NAME
kldconfig -- display or modify the kernel module search path
SYNOPSIS
kldconfig [-dfimnUv] [-S sysctlname] [path ...]
kldconfig -r
DESCRIPTION
The kldconfig utility displays or modifies the search path used by the kernel when loading modules using the kldload(8) utility or the
kldload(2) syscall.
The following options are available:
-d Remove the specified paths from the module search path.
-f Do not display a diagnostic message if a path specified for adding is already present in the search path, or if a path specified for
removing is not present in the search path. This may be useful in startup/shutdown scripts for adding a path to a file system which
is still not mounted, or in shutdown scripts for unconditionally removing a path that may have been added during startup.
-i Add the specified paths to the beginning of the search path, not to the end. This option can only be used when adding paths.
-m Instead of replacing the module search path with the set of paths specified, ``merge'' in the new entries.
-n Do not actually change the module search path.
-r Display the current search path. This option cannot be used if any paths are also specified.
-S sysctlname
Specify the sysctl name to use instead of the default kern.module_path.
-U ``Unique-ify'' the current search path - if any of the directories is repeated one or more times, only the first occurrence remains.
This option implies -m.
-v Verbose output: display the new module search path. If the path has been changed, and the -v flag is specified more than once, the
old path is displayed as well.
FILES
/boot/kernel, /boot/modules, /modules
The default module search path used by the kernel.
EXIT STATUS
The kldconfig utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
SEE ALSO
kldload(2), kldload(8), sysctl(8)
HISTORY
The kldconfig utility first appeared in FreeBSD 4.4.
