Thanks neutronscott it worked, can you explain in a little more detail what your code does though? I am unfamiliar with printf, this section was hardest to read.
It's in the find manual. Rather than just printing file names, we include the modify time in epoch and also YYYY-MM format, then finally the filename NUL terminated. So even a filename with a new-line won't mess it up.

taking the input from the printf?
-z is to print it back NUL terminated (GNU extention). -nk1 is for numerical sort on first position... bash's read you can set the delimiter to be different than newline. here we set it to '' (empty string, NUL). Yes, it reads off what is piped in from find's -printf for further processing in the shell's while loop.

If alister's suggestion did not fix your script, i'd try bash -x ./script to see exactly what it is doing to follow the logic. It was my first thought.
hey programmers!

Hi there,
I have one huge archive (it's a system image).
I need sometime to create smaller archives with only one or two file from my big archive.
So I'm looking for a command that extracts files from an archive and pipe them to another one.

bf_tar
BF_TAR(1) Bogofilter Reference Manual BF_TAR(1)NAME
bf_tar - shell script to write a tar file of a bogofilter directory to stdout
SYNOPSIS
bf_tar [-r] [-R] bogofilter_directory
DESCRIPTION
bf_tar bundles a bogofilter working directory in tar format and copies it to standard output (your console, or where you redirect it, see
EXAMPLES below).
OPTIONS
The -r option causes bf_tar to remove inactive log files after the archive has been written successfully. The default is to leave log
files.
The -R option causes bf_tar to remove inactive log files before the archive is written. This may reduce chances that the resulting archive
is recoverable should it become damaged. The archive may be smaller though. The default is to leave log files.
EXIT STATUS
The script exits with status code 0 if everything went well, and nonzero if it encountered trouble.
EXAMPLES
o bf_tar ~/.bogofilter > outfile.tar
Writes a standard .tar file containing the essential files from ~/.bogofilter to outfile.tar.
o bf_tar ~/.bogofilter | gzip -9 -c > outfile.tar.gz
Writes a gzipped .tar.gz file containing the essential files from ~/.bogofilter to outfile.tar.gz.
o bf_tar `pwd`/mydirectory > outfile.tar
Prepend $(pwd)/ or `pwd`/ if you want to specify an absolute path instead of a relative path.
NOTES
This script is meant for use with Berkeley DB based bogofilter versions.
This script requires a SUSv2 compliant pax utility.
This script expects a SUSv2 compliant shell. Solaris systems should have the SUNWxcu4 package installed (when bogofilter is configured) so
that /usr/xpg4/bin/sh can be used.
