    touch BEFORE;
    ...
    find $wherever -newer ./BEFORE;

will give you a list of files that have changed since the BEFORE file. If you are sure that the files are being created (vs. modified or accessed) by one specific userid then:

    find / -newer BEFORE -user <id>

will work also.

If you are going to run the thing regularly then take a look at "find2p", which will spit out a perl script to match your find command. The perly code will give you finer control and better sanity checks (e.g., comparing to a list in memory of what has already been found to avoid dup's) than find can.
