find all of the .jpg files, and move them to /mnt/mymachine (samba mount)
find all of the .gif files, and move them to /mnt/mymachine (samba mount)
etc.

The box is currently booted with knoppix, and I've mounted a directory 
on my box to copy the files to.  Now, I've just gotta find a relatively 
painless way to move 9,000+ files.

As a testament to how bad I am at shell scripting, I'm going to put what 
I have so far (tab #2 in my browser is at linuxdoc.org trying to get all 
the parameters right for find, exec, and copy).  As always, any help 
would be greatly appreciated.

find *.jpg -exec copy $1 /backup
