thanks. this worked (almost):
rsync -avv --include "/film/" --include "/film/jonah/" \
--include "/film/jonah/**/" --include "/film/jonah/**/sourceimages/" \
--include "/film/jonah/**/sourceimages/*.tif" --exclude "*" /film /tmp

it got all the tiff that were located in a directory somewhere under /film/jonah
named sourceimages. but for some reason it also picked up these:

find ./ -iname \*.tif | grep -v sourceimages
./dept/concept/CHUCK_VOLLMER/hard drive/Documents/.Chuck's In Progress/jonah/master_paintings/treeflats/openingshothill.tif
./dept/concept/CHUCK_VOLLMER/treeflats/openingshothill.tif
./dept/concept/JOE_SAPULICH/Ship Hold Final.tif
./dept/concept/JOE_SAPULICH/ad tiffs/Location6_PirateShip/Sets/final_Pirate_ship ext.tif
./dept/concept/JOE_SAPULICH/ad tiffs/Ship Hold Final.tif
./dept/concept/JOE_SAPULICH/ad tiffs/joppa_tent_final.tif
./dept/concept/JOE_SAPULICH/final_pirate_ship_ext.tif
./dept/concept/findByContent/Approved_Ebinder/Location6_PirateShip/Sets/final_Pirate_ship ext.tif
./dept/lighting/dan/renderData/iprImages/rest8.tif

rsync -rvv --relative --include='*.tif' --exclude='/*' `find /film/jonah -type d -name sourceimages -print | sed 's,$,/,' `  /tmp

almost worked but for some reason picked up everything under the sourecimages directories.

Wonderful! You should run out and buy the new Larryboy video that came out Tuesday.
It is 2D and animated in/with Flash.


Thanks for all your help,
