baffeled with find command failure

[Rajeev Prasad]

in the bash script:

this fails:
fileloc='/var/adm/logs/morelogs'
filename=' -name "*.user"'

fileList="$(find "$fileloc"/* -type f -prune "$filename" -print)"


find: bad option  -name "*.user"
find: [-H | -L] path-list predicate-list



but this works:
find /var/adm/logs/morelogs/* -type f -prune -name "*.user" -print
