I do not know if chown can read standard input. If it would, the first pipe
would work. But
the second will never work, since it takes the output off the chown command,
not that of find...

I've never tried two -exec directives in find, sorry. What I know is that xargs
is more flexible,
and I recommand that you insist on having it work.
It could be something similar to:
find... -print| xargs -I xxx sh -c 'chmod xxx; chown xxx; echo xxx >>
installdirs.lst'
more robust:
find... -print0 | xargs -0 -I xxx sh -c 'chmod xxx; chown xxx; echo xxx >>
installdirs.lst'
Good luck
