Yeah, I realized that I had put in the wrong code when I initially posted this. I've tried this exact code and this is the output:

Code:
/home/webreports/data/65202

Another ls of the directory with the exact code you supplied:

Code:

Exact code that I used:

Code:
touch report_start #Marker before files are created

touch -t 200201311759.30 *

yes | runjob $repname > /dev/null

pwd

find /home/webreports/data/$tag -newer report_start -print # | zip $study -@  #Zip the files that are newer than report_start
