As I'm running it, I'm doing a 'tail' to observe the output.
'tail' by itself will just sit there, waiting for you to type at least 10 lines into the keyboard.
Try tail -f filename

UPDATE: I tried
Code:
find / -type d -name "*2011"
and it is now showing output. I guess strd output to '>' doesn't apply to find.

Now its acutally show TOO MUCH output. Now I'm trying this to norrow it down and it's not working
Code:
find / -type d -name "*2011" | grep -v "DS."
No ouput again........
Try escaping that dot.m 'DS\.' Put it in single quotes, not double, so the shell doesn't get all happy and eat the backslash for you. grep takes regular expressions, and in those, "." means "any character". So "DS." would match DSA, DSB, DSC, DSD, and so forth. To match DS. and only DS. you have to escape the . to make it realize it's a real .
If that's not the problem, then what exactly are you trying to do?

zgrep
ZGREP(1) General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code:
(-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the
standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.
If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.
EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
