By the way, I think you also would want:

find -type d ... -print0 | xargs -n1 -0 ...

That lets 'find' print things out as null terminated strings, and xargs
receive them as null terminated strings.

I'm not sure how to strip of the final path (which is what I assume you
are doing with the find -printf "%h\n".)

But I guess you could also do:

- -printf "%h\0" | xargs -0 ...

At least from my experience using -print0 | xargs -0 is a lot better,
because otherwise *xargs* also splits on any whitespace. Not just newlines.
