Find help

i am trying to write ideally a one liner that will find all of the folders inside of a volume that don't contain a subfolder starting with the letter e and at the same time do contain a subfolder named 'images' that are not empty.

so far i have this
find /Volumes/image/ \! \( -name "e*" -and /images -empty

up to this point

find /Volumes/image/ \! \( -name "e*"

minus the ( of course i am pretty sure that it works to find directories inside of /Volumes/image/ that don't have subdirectories starting with e.


Again the desired output is.
Volumes/image/*/(no dirs starting with e) and at the same time /Volumes/image/*/images/(anything just not empty). Thats what i am trying to get.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Movomito

NAME
       lvscan - scan (all disks) for Logical Volumes

SYNOPSIS
       lvscan [-a|--all] [-b|--blockdevice] [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [--ignorelockingfailure] [-P|--partial] [-v|--verbose]

DESCRIPTION
       lvscan  scans all known volume groups or all supported LVM block devices in the system for defined Logical Volumes.  The output consists of
       one line for each Logical Volume indicating whether or not it is active, a snapshot or origin, the size of the device  and  its	allocation
       policy.	Use lvs(8) or lvdisplay(8) to obtain more-comprehensive information about the Logical Volumes.

OPTIONS
       See lvm for common options.

       --all  Include information in the output about internal Logical Volumes that are components of normally-accessible Logical Volumes, such as
	      mirrors, but which are not independently accessible (e.g. not mountable).  For example, after creating a mirror using 'lvcreate  -m1
	      --mirrorlog disk', this option will reveal three internal Logical Volumes, with suffixes mimage_0, mimage_1, and mlog.

       -b, --blockdevice
	      This option is now ignored.  Instead, use lvs(8) or lvdisplay(8) to obtain the device number.

SEE ALSO
       lvm(8), lvcreate(8), lvdisplay(8) lvs(8)
