Over-thinking find and mv - need a nudge

Hi,

I've got what should be a simple task, but I think I'm over-thinking [1] the
solution.

Got a Solaris 10 host, lots of files, lots of users, inbound by FTP.  End user
wants them consolidated to a single directory.

Given a directory, with sub-directories.
I'm to move files older than 15 minutes to a single directory.
I can act on most of the directories, but not all of them.
Renamed files are to be in format
$source_directory$date-time$original_file_name

So that ...

/foo/file1.txt > /composite/foo-20120329-file.txt


Solaris, so I reached for my handy perl one-linerish to roll back the time so
find -newer works.

Here is what I've got so far.

Moves files to $DESTINATION, fine.

What I can't seem to figure out is a smooth way to obtain the originating
directory and file into variables so I can 'mv' them.

I may be - I am - missing something fundamental.  Or obvious.

Not committed to BASH, of course.

# directory.txt
/users/bdunbar/foo/test/d1
/users/bdunbar/foo/test/d2
/users/bdunbar/foo/test/d3

# script.sh
DIRECTORY_LIST=directory.txt
DESTINATION="/users/bdunbar/foo/composite"
NOW=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d-%H%M-%S")
TIMER="timer.txt"

for D in `cat ${DIRECTORY_LIST}`
do
   find ${D} -type f -maxdepth 1 \! -newer ${TIMER} -print  -exec mv -v "{}"
${DESTINATION} \;
done


[1] I may be over-thinking the over-thinking .. recursive gumption trap!
