The attachment is hosed, cannot see it.
Code:
cd Documents/Vol1/A
find . -type d -exec basename  {} \; |
while read folder
do
   tar czvf /tmp/PR-2012`date +%m%d%H-XXXX-V1-XXXXXX-${folder}.tgz  $folder
done

This assumes that your version of tar supports the z options. It also assumes that when you cd to the directory: Documents/Vol1/A that you are in the directory immediately above Documents.

The compressed tar files end up in the /tmp directory.
