Question : Find cmd failing with "find: paths must precede expression" however works on command line.

Experts, here is my madness....

I have an array of directories that I populate.
If there is one or more elements, either apply a single prune statement or multiple prune statements.
else run the plain find statement.

The plain find statement runs, but the enhanced find statement with prune does not run.

I receive the error:
"find: paths must precede expression
Usage: find [path...] [expression]"

As you can see from my code below I print the find statement then run it.  The version I run failes with the error I provided.  But if I copy the echoed find statement it runs just fine!  :(

Please advise.
TY

Answer : Find cmd failing with "find: paths must precede expression" however works on command line.

I think it should be
 find ${SRVNAME}/${SID} \( ${findArr[@]} \) -prune -o -mtime +13 -ls
