"*.*" is a DOS thing. Why not search for the files you want anyway instead of "all files". "-*#*" would be any name starting with - and including # in it.
Cramming everything into backticks won't do what you want. It'll just give you a big list but not do anything to the files. It'll also include directories, not just files. I don't know why you used xargs to grep.
It'd be nice to know what your shell is. Assuming you have bash or ksh.

JSYMPHONIC(1) General Commands Manual JSYMPHONIC(1)NAME
jsymphonic - File manager for Sony's MP3 players
SYNOPSIS
jsymphonic
DESCRIPTION
jsymphonic manages files stored on a Sony MP3 player plugged onto the computer.
Important note: The MP3 player should be mounted first ! You might want to use pmount(1) to mount it without needing root privileges.
The first time it is run, jsymphonic will ask you in which directory the MP3 player is mounted. This directory should not change, or you
will need to configure it again. If jsymphonic complains that it cannot find the OMGAUDIO folder, it means that either the music player is
not mounted, either the path of the player has not been set yet. If that is the case, set it using the JSymphonic/Properties menu item.
JAVA-WRAPPERS NOTE
This program is a shell script wrapper based on java-wrappers(7). You therefore benefit from several features; please see the java-wrap-
pers(7) manual page for more information about them.
