The relation to the find command: the linux/unix find command can be
producing and using the list at the same time (actually it perhaps doesn't
even create any list).

Why do you think
grep foo `{du -a . | awk '{print $2}'}
doesn't do the job? Apart from potentially reporting one file several
times...
