if you "mount" the q: directory like this `mount q:\\ /q' then the syntax for
find under bash would be `find /q/datatools/dumpdata -ctime +10 | xargs ls

You must use two \ in order to get it correctly mounted.  I.E. mkdir /dumpdata
&& mount q:\\datatools\\dumpdata /dumpdata

of `cygcheck -s -v -r' in a mail.
