I think I'm going nuts. What am I doing wrong? Can't seem to get -exec to work.

   /i/mp3.$ find . -type f -mtime +18 -exec /bin/echo \{\;\} | more
   find: missing argument to `-exec'
/i/mp3.$ find . -type f -mtime +18 -exec /bin/echo \{\} | more find: missing argument to `-exec'
   /i/mp3.$ find . -type f -mtime +18 -exec /bin/echo '\;' | more
   find: missing argument to `-exec'
   /i/mp3.$ find . -type f -mtime +18 -exec /bin/echo \{;\} | more
   find: missing argument to `-exec'
   /i/mp3.$ find . -type f -mtime +18 -exec echo '\;' | more
   find: missing argument to `-exec'

There is NO missing argument to -exec. What gives? Is it really broken or do I not understand the manual page correctly?
