Regards.
The part after the -type f should be in (esccaped) brackets, otherwise it would attempt to rm an old *.gz directory.
Or this version that also eliminates a redundant -name '*.gz'
Code:
find $DIRECTORY -type f -mtime +10 \( ! -name '*.gz' -exec gzip -f {} \; -o -mtime +365 -exec rm {} \; \)

Ok, this will delete all files if +365 days old, including uncompressed ones (where gzip has failed). Rather a feature than a mistake.
The efficient + instead of the \;should work as well.
