Yeah, you need a shell. You can feed the result of find
to sh with a pipe, but you're command needs a few fixes:
1. replace {} with %p
2. you probably want mod time, not access time, so %TY%Tm
3. quote the args in case the file contains spaces or other unpleasant chars
so, using echo instead of mv, and a throwaway file for testing,
we get:
find crapola -printf 'echo "%p" "%TY%Tm" \n '
to execute the result, pipe to shell:
find crapola -printf 'echo "%p" "%TY%Tm" \n ' | sh
