Mike,

First create a reference file:

touch ref_file -t [[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.SS]

Then use the find command:

find /dirname ! -newer ref_file

At least, I think that will work for you.

You can do it with find command and place the script in a cron job to run it every hour:

# touch test_file

In the script:
find dir_name -newer test_file -depth | cpio -plmv /destination_dir
touch test_file

Place this script in crontab. When you run the first time, run it after an hour you created test_file. You can replace the cpio command with mv or cp.

typo .. add option 'd' with cpio:

cpio -pdmv /dest_dir
