This script work fine in my computer:

Code:

#Script Below# 
#Add additional lines to config options. 
. ./prune.config 
eval "$DIR1 $DIR1OPTIONS"

Try

Code:

-exec gzip {} \;

Not necessarily. man find (on my linux: find (GNU findutils) 4.7.0-git)

Quote:

-exec command {} +
This variant of the -exec action runs the specified command on the selected files, but the command line is built by appending each selected file name at the end; the total number of invocations of the command will be much less than the number of matched files.

But: a space before the + may be compulsory.

Yes, it's true. The problem was the lack of a space between {} and +.
