Note that based on the discussion in the other thread I mentioned, if you use the 2nd approach I suggested in post #2, you may need to create the output file before you start the find to keep find from failing because the directory hierarchy is changing while it is reading it. In other words:
Code:
touch archive_name; find . -depth ! -name archive_name | clio -ov > archive_name
