move script

hi guys i have a simple question

i have a directory with name of files in /tmp which contain some files

i want to check all files with file command and if they were MP3 or Wave sync them into new place . for example ( /root/mp3 )
i find all files and remove white space and rename them
next i check them with file command and if they were mp3 or wave we should sync or copy them with exact path into new place

eg.

/tmp/files/test1 ------> /root/mp3/test1

/tmp/files/New/test2 ----------> /root/mp3/New/test2

/tmp/files/New/last/Old/test-old ------------> /root/mp3/New/last/Old/test-old

files should copy into same directory in new the place

i think to
echo $new |sed "s#/tmp/files#/root/mp3"
but it doesnt work Smilie

PHP Code:


#!/bin/bash
old=/tmp/files
new=/root/mp3
find /tmp/files3 -name *.* | while read FILE
do
new=$(echo $FILE | sed 's/ /_/g')

chroot

chroot(1M)						  System Administration Commands						chroot(1M)

NAME

       chroot - change root directory for a command

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/chroot newroot command

DESCRIPTION

       The  chroot  utility causes command to be executed relative to newroot. The meaning of any initial slashes (/) in the path names is changed
       to newroot for command and any of its child processes. Upon execution, the initial working directory is newroot.

       Notice that redirecting the output of command to a file,

       chroot newroot command >x

       will create the file x relative to the original root of command, not the new one.

       The new root path name is always relative to the current root. Even if a chroot is currently in effect, the newroot argument is relative to
       the current root of the running process.

       This command can be run only by the super-user.

RETURN VALUES

       The exit status of chroot is the return value of command.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Using the chroot Utility

       The  chroot  utility  provides an easy way to extract tar files (see tar(1)) written with absolute filenames to a different location. It is
       necessary to copy the shared libraries used by tar (see ldd(1)) to the newroot filesystem.

       example# mkdir /tmp/lib; cd /lib
       example# cp ld.so.1 libc.so.1 libcmd.so.1 libdl.so.1 libsec.so.1 /tmp/lib
       example# cp /usr/bin/tar /tmp
       example# dd if=/dev/rmt/0 | chroot /tmp tar xvf -

SEE ALSO

NOTES

       Exercise extreme caution when referencing device files in the new root file system.

       References by routines such as ttyname(3C) to stdin, stdout, and stderr will find that the device associated with the  file  descriptor	is
       unknown after chroot is run.
