You are quite correct. Got the script working.

Thanks for the support.

Got it working. Thanks for the support.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
#
BASE_OLD=/mnt/old-raid
BASE_NEW=/mnt/new-raid

cd $BASE_OLD
find . -type f |
while read fname
do
$BASE_NEW/${fname}

TS=$(stat -c '%Y' "${BASE_OLD}/${fname}")


TIMESTAMP=$(date -d @${TS} +'%d %b %Y %R')

touch -d "${TIMESTAMP}" "${BASE_NEW}/${fname}"

echo "${BASE_NEW}/${fname}"

done
