I'm getting (as many as the value of $i)
./chksize-users-profiles2: line 9: [: too many arguments

which is the:
if [ $i -gt $size_plateau ] ; then
line

- hmmm, I am trying to figure out where you are going with the xargs and
basename commands...

I certainly like your structure and I can see where I can have the value
for -f1 & -f2 in the current but separate arrays much easier.
