Is it like this in your case maybe?
(I added a space near the end between } and \ ... )
or like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ssh -l bss atsrvlx01 find /home -name ".bash_history" -exec grep
foo {} \;
find: missing argument to `-exec'
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ssh -l bss atsrvlx01 'find /home -name ".bash_history" -exec
grep foo {} \;'
