Thanks for the 64bit solution, I had forgotten about that.

About the test

[ ! -a $line/<filename> ]

It is just checking to see if the file is there.  If there is a file 
there, I am assuming that we don't want to mess with it.  I also figure 
that if the file is there, then the directory is there.

[ -d "$line" -a ! -e "$line/%{cleanscript}" ]

Although your solution is more thorough, it just seems redundant, doing 
two checks instead of one (unless I'm reading it wrong).
