Hello cmccabe,

If I understood your requirement correctly(though I am not sure) it is to copy a specific extension files from source folder to target folder, so could you please try following and let me know if this helps you(not tested though).
Code:
find . -maxdepth 1 -name "test*" -exec echo "cp -t /tmp" {} \+

So in above code you could put .*bamfiles in place of test*and could put location in place of /tmpabove(destination dire I have put echo(in bold and underline) for testing purposes, so if you are happy with above command's result you could remove that echo. You could set the value of maxdepthas per your requirements too.
Please do let us know how it goes then.

Thanks,
R. Singh
