What Operating System are you running?
What Shell do you use?

Assuming a modern unix and a Bourne-type Shell there is nothing wrong with the script. The ">" signs of course are not part of the script.

Code:
for i in Users.csv abd.csv
do
   find . -name $i
done

If you are getting an error message or the script does not do what you expect, please post more detail.
