just a small comment, grep uses regexps so this doesn't do what you want (eg the . is a wildcard char). Your script can break, silently (won't sign rpms whose name contains "any char followed by zzz") or not (will attempt to rpmsign eg myrpms.pl), with some particular file names.

what you really want is files ending with .rpm, so: grep '.rpm$'

Why are people passing this off to grep?

rpmsign --addsign $(find . -type f -name *.rpm ! -name *.zzz)

To be fair I've not read this entire thread so I may be missing something here.
