​While I'm a bit suspect of this entire script/approach I believe the
problem plaguing you at the moment is that your find command is not finding
any files and thus your attempt to execute pg_archivecleanup only occurs
with a single argument - which is an error.

For something this important I would advise considerably more debugging
output and explicit error handling. Don't rely on set -e

On a related note - I don't understand why you'd use the "exec" command
here...
