Still need help
The removal of the files is only one part of the issue as I need to also copy a file from .snapshot to the original location. The spaces are causing problems and I need to know if there is a different way of quoting the variables.
Thanks for the inode idea.

auplay
AUPLAY(1) General Commands Manual AUPLAY(1)
NAME
auplay - play a sound file to a Network Audio System server
SYNOPSIS
auplay [-audio servername] [-volume 0-100] [-i] [-I] [-l] files...
DESCRIPTION
The auplay program can be used to play audio data stored in the .SND, .AU, or .WAV formats common on Sun workstations and PCs. It is typi-
cally used from shell scripts or command line procedures. If no filenames are given on the command line, audio data will be read fron
stdin, unless the -l option is given.
OPTIONS
The following options may be used with the auplay program:
-audio servername
This option specifies the Network Audio System server on which the files should be played.
-volume 0-100
This option specifies the volume at which the data should be played as a percentage of the maximum possible volume. The default is
100 percent.
-i This option indicates that the header information associated with the sound data should be printed along with playing the data.
-I This option indicates that the header information associated with the sound data should be printed instead of playing the data.
-l This option indicates that a list of filenames is to be read from stdin. auplay will play these files after playing any files
given explicitly as command line arguments.
