Help with rysnc and find with date variable
I want to have a script to create directory labled with the date, convert a load of flac files to mp3 and then find and rysnc the newly created mp3 file to the dated directory. Here's what I have done so far but the rsync command doesn't work:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
#set date variable as now
DATE=`/bin/date +%y%m%d`

#create dir for DATE
mkdir /media/raid10/music/newmp3/$DATE

#run flac2mp3
/media/raid10/music/flac2mp3_wPics/flac2mp3_wPics/flac2mp3.pl /media/raid10/music/flac /media/raid10/music/mp3

#copy new mp3 to DATE directory
rsync `find /media/raid10/music/mp3 -type -f -iname "*.mp3" -atime $DATE` /media/raid10/music/newmp3/$DATE

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

	      add  file/s  or  path's  content	to  CD-ROM's  root.  e.g.: -p /cvs/myproj/. In this example we will find CD-ROM's root filled with
	      /cvs/myproj/ contents, but no /cvs/myproj/ will be created

       -r, --preserve-path
	      add file/s or path's content to CD-ROM preserving original path.	e.g.: -r /cvs/myproj/. In this example we will	find  /cvs/myproj/
	      in CD-ROM's root

       -x, --exclude-path
	      every file or directory matching this string will not be included

       -c, --change-path
	      old_path	will  be  named  new_path  in  CD-ROM.	e.g.:  -c  /my_home/2004_Jan/  /home/bigpaul/.	Thus  /home/bigpaul/ will be named
	      /my_home/2004_Jan/ in CD-ROM.

	      this option allows burn to follow symbolic link directories
