The find command is unsuitable for what you are trying to do, plain shell expansion of the pattern (or * if no pattern) is a better option
If that fails to work for you, perhaps you aren't quoting your pattern and as a result the expansion is happening outside your script'
ie. call it like so
or in the case of your script above

slist
SLIST(1) slist SLIST(1)NAME
slist - Lists available NetWare Servers
SYNOPSIS
slist [ pattern ]
DESCRIPTION
slist lists all NetWare Servers available in your network.
If slist does not print to a tty, the decorative header line is not printed, so that you can count the servers on your network by doing
slist | wc -l
OPTIONS
pattern
pattern is used to list only servers whose names match the specified pattern. For a server to be listed, the pattern must match the full
server name. You can use wildcards for the pattern, but you must protect these wildcards from any command line expansion by quoting.
Case doesn't matter.
EXAMPLE
slist "I*"
or
slist "i*"
List all available Netware servers on your Network, that begin with an "I".
SEE ALSO ncpmount(8), ncpumount(8), pqlist(1), nprint(1)CREDITS
slist was written by Volker Lendecke (lendecke@math.uni-goettingen.de)
BUGS
slist works only in IPX environment, as it uses SAP to find first server and then Bindery to get list of servers.
