Avoid xargs and redirects. Loop the task as in a multiline command or a
script. Of course some solutions offered included using xargs to call a
shell with the command but these came after I had something working.
And never start a subject line on this list with "Re:" if you want to let
others know what a solution is. A royal pain that.
