I would use xargs for this>>

you need the option -print0 due to spaces in the directory and again the xargs -0 option to be able to work with the spaces when executing the rm command

e.g.

find /home/samba/shares/accounting_group/OLD Hardisk 2005-2008/Loida/ -iname '*.tmp' -print0 | xargs -0 /bin/rm -f

good luck
Jan
