Also you could try

This is a classic mistake. It has two problems: 1) The list of files created by the embedded find can exceed the maximum command length. 2) Directories with spaces in their name will be split by the tokenizer, resulting in $FOLDER containing invalid or dangerous paths.
instead of find /usr/local/squidGuard/db -maxdepth 1 -type d | while read FOLDER; do
This is the correct way to combine a shell loop with a program that creates a list of files.
