    mkisofs -J -r -o "$targetimage" "$1" && sync && rm -rfv "$1"

There is nothing strange. I've got about 1 TB of recordings. DVD-R is
great. :-)

That part is quite easy. But in this form incorrect.

See the command from my other mail, which is correct.

The first "find" findes all directory with ".del" in it's name. Foreach
directory another find is issued that finds all symlinks (-type l) and
'printf's the target of the symlink. xargs calls rm with all resolved
symlinks. This deletes all symlink-targets in all directorys with a
".del" as the last part of it's name.

Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as 
bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women. No, the Real Programmer
wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated, 
cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous.
