I got it working, I was complicating things WAY too much. I think I made an error earlier on while testing it that led me to skip over the solution.

This does what I need.
Code:
j=1
for i in ${FIND_DIR1}
do
	array[j]=$i
	let j++
done

echo ${array[@]}

The for loop splits it at the white space. The error I kept running into was trying to force the IFS to split it, and trying to force split it other wise.

Thank you for the help it was much appreciated!
