First, the syntax of the find command is the same as we run.

My concern is with the SCRPTDIR designation. You might want to remove the quote characters. To check if you need to, copy the find command line.  Insert echo " at the beginning, change "abc_*.tsd" to be 'abc_*.tsd' then add a " at the end. Run the script and see what UNIX is actually trying to execute.

In all of my scripts, I leave the echo command in so I can track what is being processed or having problems.
