Are you trying to re-write some Windows BAT/CMD script perhaps?  It
seems that you'd actually want to use find instead of ls and protect
yourself a bit against the possibility of one of these path or file
names containing whitespace.  The ls constructing FILE_LIST is probably
not needed because the shell already globs the file names before ls ever
gets to it.
