Seems like the xargs -0 rm portion was choking as all the file names were being contcatenated. Perhaps the null character line ending is missing? At this point I haven't investigated further. So for anyone else who is stuck adjusting the one liner like notmuch search --output=files tag:deleted -print0 | xargs -d '\n' rm worked for me. PS Thanks to Sebastian and Carl and everyone else who has built notmuch I'm really enjoying using it! :) Jeff > Uhh, that is a neat line, and a neat trick.
