Another solution would be a tar-pipe.

cd /server ; tar -c --null -T <(find . -type f -mtime +30 -print0) | (cd /archive ; tar xv)

This will work with any filename that a unix-system allows.

And the nice thing about a tar-pipe is that you can redirect it to 
another computer just by changing the last part to:
| ssh <remote> cd /target \; tar xv
The other way around (Pull vs. Push) is possible too.
