>Description:
  The find man page does not have adequate documentation for the -exec
feature. It tells you that the syntax is:

 -exec utility [argument ...];

However, it is necessary to escape the ; and also put a space between
the last character of the command and the escaped semicolon.

Example:

find . -name "*" -exec echo {};

seems to conform to the above syntax rules, however the correct command
is:

find . -name "*" -exec echo {} \;

The "\" is crucial, and so is the space between the {} and the \;.
