How did it get so popular? In a word, Google.
Nope, this doesn't work. Qshell is now taking the part of the path name
following the blank and using is as the second argument.

My script looks like this:
find ${1} -mtime +${2} -exec rm -d {} \;

Two things:
1) I don't know how that find syntax got so popular! You might
consider
changing for readability
2) If $1 will contain blanks (and you say it will) then you're
going to
need quotes also in the script.

Here's my rewritten line:

rm -d $(find "${1}" -mtime +${2})

Here's your line corrected:

Find "${1}" -mtime ...
