The option -depth does not take a parameter. It means that find should use a depth first method for walking the directory tree. Perhaps you are looking for -maxdepth (GNU find only)?

Note: In BSD find also supports -depth with a parameter and then it has a whole different meaning, which is a bit confusing..
