Thanks for the explanation. So somebody should really do the following
to maintain any files no matter where they are located?
F: */*bcm2835*
F: */*/*bcm2835*
F: */*/*/*bcm2835*
F: */*/*/*/*bcm2835*
F: */*/*/*/*/*bcm2835*
F: */*/*/*/*/*/*bcm2835*
F: */*/*/*/*/*/*/*bcm2835*

Or, can a recursive option be added in the script?
