Put escaped double quotes around name, like \"$NAME\" in the test expression.

the relevant snippet is...
NAME="*.mov"
cd $IN
if test -n "$(find . -maxdepth 1 -name $NAME -print -quit)"
and if there is one file in this directory - ie test.mov, this works fine
but if there are two (or more) files in this directory - test.mov, test2.mov
then I get an error...
find: paths must precede expression
So my code is evidently wrong. I just want a test for 1 or more files ending in .mov in the directory?
Any one want to toss me a bone here?
