Hi Dennis,

>From reading your original post it seems like you are using inverse technique 
to eliminate duplicate files based on content.   If you are trying to track 
down all the duplicate files in each clients directory I'd suggest fdupes.

Fdups will search a directory tree for duplicates by generating an MD5 sum of 
the contents of each file and offers options for dealing with duplicates.  It 
will produce a list, or even remove any duplicates and create links to the 
remaining file while preserving the file name.
