Set Finder labels per script

Question

Hi Community,
after a file server migration I lost on each folder all Finder labels. With the lsmac utility I can fetch the label color for each object and with the setlabel utility I can set a label color for objects. Both utilities come with the osxutil suite.
Okay so far so good, the solution is based in this two utilities but how can I combine this two commands in a script which read out the label colors of each folder on the source file server and set the right label color of each folder on the target file server. Both servers are mounted via AFP on a Mac workstation.
The following (test) command reads only a few folders, I would expect that the find command should run recursively but it doesn't:
$ find / -type d -print0 | xargs -0 lsmac -L
Orange ------ 93 items - Applications/
None I----- 37 items - bin/
None I----- 0 items - cores/
FSPathMakeRef(): Error -36 returned when getting file reference from //dev
None ------ 14 items - Developer/
The following command run like the **** but print out mostly garbage:
$ find / -type d -print0 -exec lsmac -L {} ;
Okay, now I've already problems to determine the right label color of each folder. I'm far away from setting a label color. Help would be very appreciated in this job.
Thx & Bye Tom

I do NOT know the syntax of the lsmac nor the setlabel commands, so this is just an untested template.
#!/usr/bin/env bash
find / -type d | while read file
do
color=$(lsmac "$file")
[[ "$color" = None * ]] && continue
[[ "$color" = *: Error* ]] && continue
(set -x
setlabel "${color%% *}" "/Volumes/REMOTEVOLUMENAME/$file"
done
