additional points of information:
exec-path is not always used for subprocesses
(http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=7793)
so I have to modify process-environment too:
after fixing exec-path:

  (let ((tail process-environment))
    (while tail
      (when (string-match "^PATH=" (car tail))
        (setcar tail (concat "PATH="
                             (mapconcat (lambda (s)
                                          (subst-char-in-string ?/ ?\\ s))
                                        exec-path ";")))
        (setq tail nil))        ; done
      (setq tail (cdr tail))))

now:

the error message is obviously from gnu find, but I don't see what is
wrong with the command line.
