I get this result:

  c:/Scott/:
  find . "(" -name test ")" -exec ls -ld "{}" ";"
  Access denied - .
  File not found - -NAME
  File not found - TEST
  File not found - )
  File not found - -EXEC
  File not found - LS
  File not found - -LD
  File not found - {}
  File not found - ;

  find exited abnormally with code 1 at Fri Sep 28 15:44:36

That works for me, but I get the following error 16 times in
*Compile-Log* when I type M-x lgrepRET:
Warning: `error' called with 1 args to fill 0 format field(s)

Thank you,
