Okay, I've got it copying files...
But using the same method, is there a way to compress the files on the fly?
I need it to append each file to a tar archive, which is simple, but when I 
introduce the compression, it doesn't work.

find . | tee output
while read file ; do
??? compress tar command ???
done < output

How would I do this?

just doing:
tar -rf "$file" $TMP/backup/stuff.tar 

works great. But if I use a gz or bz2 file it just errors. Is this even 
possible?

I can get it to work with .zip, but I'd prefer bz2.
