Try it without quotes:

find . -name msk_Rco_ijkl_* -mtime -60 -print

What the heck - it works for me with quotes, without quotes:

$ ls tmp/msk_Rco_ijkl_20070925_033743.Z
tmp/msk_Rco_ijkl_20070925_033743.Z
$ find . -name 'msk_Rco_ijkl_*' -mtime -60 -print
./tmp/msk_Rco_ijkl_20070925_033743.Z
$ find . -name msk_Rco_ijkl_* -mtime -60 -print
./tmp/msk_Rco_ijkl_20070925_033743.Z

Interestingly, when I supplied a bad argument, got this:

$ find -z
find: path-list predicate-list

Didn't get any mention of -H | -L. You may want to check the man for your version of find and see some examples for the supplied syntax.

i am just giving this thing

find . -name msk_Rco_ijkl_* -mtime -60 -print

and i am getting

find: bad option msk_Rco_ijkl_123.Z
find: [-H | -L] path-list predicate-list

# which find

Just giving this, how can your system print out the complete name of the file that you are looking for?
find: bad option msk_Rco_ijkl_123.Z
I can't understand this

You may need to give a scape character before the wildcar:
find . -name msk_Rco_ijkl_\* -mtime -60 -print

bye
