Controlling depth with find

I have the following script:

Quote:
#!/usr/bin/ksh

export MDIR=$PS_HOME/datafiles

if [[ -f $MDIR/bldtuout.txt ]]; then
rm $MDIR/bldtuout.txt
fi

if [[ -f $MDIR/bldterr.txt ]]; then
rm $MDIR/bldterr.txt
fi

NAME=$1
SERVER=$2
DIRECTORY=$3
DATABASE=$4
ID=$5

echo "*" $NAME $DATABASE $DIRECTORY $SERVER >> $MDIR/bldtuout.txt
/usr/bin/ssh -q $ID@$SERVER "find $DIRECTORY -type d -exec du -ks {} \;" >> $MDIR/bldtuout.txt 2>> $MDIR/bldterr.txt
Now they have added on a new requirement, they only want to go to a certain depth in the directories returned. How do I code it to only go say 3 directories deeper than $DIRECTORY?

ECACCESS-FILE-MOVE(1p)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				    ECACCESS-FILE-MOVE(1p)

NAME
ecaccess-file-move - Move or Rename ECaccess Files SYNOPSIS
ecaccess-file-move -version|-help|-manual ecaccess-file-move [-debug] source-ecaccess-file target-ecaccess-file DESCRIPTION
Allow moving an ECaccess File. When the move occurs within the same ECaccess File System then it is a rename. When the move occurs across two different ECaccess File Systems then first a copy is done and then a delete of the original file is done (e.g. similar to ecaccess- file-copy ... -erase). The source-ecaccess-file and target-ecaccess-file are in the form [domain:][/user-id/]path. Please read the "Shell commands -> File Management" section of the "ecaccess" guide for more information on the ECaccess File System. ARGUMENTS
source-ecaccess-file The source ECaccess File name. target-ecaccess-file The target ECaccess File name. OPTIONS
-version Display version number and exits. -help Print a brief help message and exits. -manual Prints the manual page and exits. -debug Display the SOAP messages exchanged. EXAMPLES
ecaccess-file-move ec:test1.txt ec:test2.txt Rename the test1.txt file in the ECFS directory of the authenticated user in test2.txt. ecaccess-file-move ec:test1.txt home:test2.txt Copy the test1.txt file from the ECFS directory of the authenticated user to the test2.txt file in the $HOME directory of the authenticated user, then delete the test1.txt file from ECFS.
