It seems that the `-name' behaves inconsistently when one of the
`path's given contain a trailing slash:
$ find /tmp/ -name tmp/ -and -printf 'Found: %p\n'
find: warning: Unix filenames usually don't contain slashes (though pathnames
do). That means that '-name tmp/' will probably evaluate to false all the time
on this system. You might find the '-wholename' test more useful, or perhaps
'-samefile'. Alternatively, if you are using GNU grep, you could use 'find ...
-print0 | grep -FzZ tmp/'.
Found: /tmp/

Please note that it isn't possible to use just /DIRECTORY as the
`path', since then the symbolic link won't be followed:
$ find /SYMLINK-TO-A-DIRECTORY
/SYMLINK-TO-A-DIRECTORY
$ find /SYMLINK-TO-A-DIRECTORY/
/SYMLINK-TO-A-DIRECTORY/
/SYMLINK-TO-A-DIRECTORY/FOO
...
