sorry for the delay folks. after some more tinkering and experimenting with all suggestions i decided since there was more to prune than i was searching i decided on the following solution:

Code:
DIR=`find /data/Engine -maxdepth 2 -type d -name CAE -prune -o -type d -name CAD -prune -o -type d -name R_D -prune -o -type d -name BM -prune\ 
-o -type d -name Minor_Projects -prune -o -type d -name "VI Projects" -prune -o -type d -name CFD -print`

find $DIR \( -type d -name .snapshot -prune -o -name "*.case" \) -mtime +365 -print0 -fls deleted_files.txt -exec rm -f '{}' \;

this way i ended up with an array called $DIR with all of the directories i wanted to search and cleanup. IE: /data/Engine/0000/CFD /data/Engine/0001/CFD

thanks all for chiming it as it gave me a few other angles to view this task from.

bootchart

BOOTCHART(1)						      General Commands Manual						      BOOTCHART(1)

NAME

       bootchart - render a chart from the statistical data recorded with bootchartd

SYNOPSIS

       bootchart [-f|--format FORMAT] [-n|--no-prune] [-o|--output-dir DIR] files ...

DESCRIPTION

       bootchart  is used to process the log file created by bootchartd(1) (/var/log/bootchart.tgz by default).  bootchart builds the process tree
       and renders a performance chart in different formats.  The chart may then be analyzed to examine process dependency  and  overall  resource
       utilization.

OPTIONS

       -f,--format FORMAT
	      Sets the format of the image. Possible values are: png, eps, svg (default)

       -h, --help
	      Display brief usage message.

       -n, --no-prune
	      Do  not prune the process tree.  To make the resulting process tree more comprehensible, bootchart will prune the tree using various
	      techniques (removing short-lived processes, merging processes, etc.).  This option disables such behavior.

       -o, --output-dir DIR
	      Sets the output directory for the resulting image. (default: .)

       -v, --version
	      Show program version.

FILES

       /var/log/bootchart.tgz
	      the default log file to parse (unless otherwise specified).
