For an Applescript the backslash needs to be double-escaped.

Thanks!
But I don't think I get this yet.
I tried
tell application "Finder"
set pathToFolder to choose folder
set s to "sudo find " & pathToFolder & " -user <adminUserName> -exec
chown <newOwner>:<newGroup> {} \\;"
do shell script s
end tell
--> Finder Got an Error Password
<adminUserName> = an admin user on the machine
<newOwner> = the new owner
<newGroup> = the new group
Any ideas?
TIA
Todd
