nx500, you're right, I also had to escape the ';'. I guess I copied the wrong line from my history and then forgot later that I had had to escape that as well. However, the quotes around the swirly brackets aren't to escape the brackets, they are to make the filenames with spaces get passed to the rm command as one parameter (i.e., the quotes get passed to the command as well and you get "file name" instead of file name).
