the script is:

find /home/office/ -newer /home/backup/office-backup-`date -I -d yesterday`.tgz \! -type d | xargs tar -zcvf /home/malcolm/office-date -I.tgz

And for more than i check what coung be wrong I can't see it and i get this error message

Any idea what migh be wrong ?

xargs: unmatched single quote
