Hi,

I cannot invoke find as command of ssh (ssh login@machine find params),
but invoking find with same params from terminal works correctly.

Maybe a bug in find utility?

Details and problem demonstration:
----------------------------------

I'm working on CentOS, connecting to Windows Server 2008 Standard 
32-bit, Service Pack 2.

[root@backup domain_backup]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 6.3 (Final)
[root@backup domain_backup]# ssh bkp@builder
Last login: Mon Dec 17 10:50:49 2012 from bdc
bkp@builder ~
$ /cygdrive/c/Windows/system32/cmd.exe /C ver
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6002]
bkp@builder ~
$ logout
Connection to builder closed.
[root@backup domain_backup]#

I need to get list of files and their sizes:

[root@backup domain_backup]# ssh bkp@builder find
/cygdrive/d/Backups/Data -printf "\"%f (%s)\n\""
FIND: Invalid switch
[root@backup domain_backup]#

The problem is not in -printf parameter, because

[root@backup domain_backup]# ssh bkp@builder find /cygdrive/d/Backups/Data
FIND: Invalid switch
[root@backup domain_backup]#

works not too.
The same find invoked in terminal works:

[root@backup domain_backup]# ssh bkp@builder
Last login: Mon Dec 17 11:16:57 2012 from bdc
bkp@builder ~
$ find /cygdrive/d/Backups/Data -printf "%f (%s)\n" | head -n 2
Data (0)
BKP-builder-20120803-2359-mssql-EmpMonitor.7z (535069)
bkp@builder ~
$ logout
Connection to builder closed.
[root@backup domain_backup]#

Invoking other command in place of find works:
[root@backup domain_backup]# ssh bkp@builder ls /cygdrive/d/Backups/Data
| head -n 2
BKP-builder-20120803-2359-mssql-EmpMonitor.7z
BKP-builder-20120803-2359-mssql-EmpMonitor.7z.sha
[root@backup domain_backup]#

Invoking find on no-cygwin machine works too:
[root@backup domain_backup]# ssh root@www find /opt/backup/pool/ -printf
"\"%f (%s)\n\"" | head -n 2
pool/ (94208)
BKP-www-20121210-0033-svn-Rpt-14.tar.bz2 (2062406)
[root@backup domain_backup]#
