Thanks for this tip. It almost worked but not quite as the output of the find was as below and the ./ caused problems.

./AMQERR03.LOG
./AMQERR02.LOG
./AMQERR01.LOG


In the end I used the original version and used cut to extract the file name. The command is pretty long but it works.
Code:
alias doit='find /var/mqm/qmgrs/$QM/errors -name "AMQERR*" -print |cut -d/ -f7| xargs -l -i cp /var/mqm/qmgrs/$QM/errors/{}
                 $HOME/backuplogs/$QM-$(date -u +%b)$(date -u +%d)-{}'
