Would the following script work?  I would like to grab all of the
recoverable files at once.  Or should "-name *" be "-type f" to skip the
directories?  I may have mangled the paths.

#!/bin/bash

source=/mnt/bad
dest=/mnt/new
cd $source
find . -name * | while read a; do
   echo $a
   ddrescue -v "$source/$a" "$dest/$a" "$dest/$a.log"
done

Thanks!
