problem with find-dired and find-name-dired

Can anyone tell me why I'm getting these errors?  I'm using cvs Gnu
Emacs.  

"GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 (i386-msvc-nt5.1.2600) of 2004-03-19 on
WISHIWASFASTER"

find-name-dired RET ~/somepath RET *.mak

,----
|   ~/somepath/:
|   find . \( -name "*.mak" \) -exec ls -ld {} \;
|   warning: extra args ignored after 'find . \\( -name "*.mak'
|   blah.mak
|   blah2.mak
|   find: \(: No such file or directory
|

find-dired RET ~/somepath RET -iname "*.mak"

,----
|   ~/somepath/:
|   find . \( -iname "*.mak" \) -exec ls -ld {} \;
|   warning: extra args ignored after 'find . \\( -name "*.mak'
|   blah.mak

Relevant options are:

find-dired-find-program's value is "find"

find-ls-option's value is 
("-exec ls -ld {} \\;" . "-ld")

shell-file-name's value is 
"E:/cvs/emacs/bin/cmdproxy.exe"

If I run the above commands from eshell, it works fine as long as I
escape the * like: find . \( -iname "\*.mak" \) -exec ls -ld {} \;

If I open a cmdproxy and run it from there I get an error unless I
remove the backslash from the trailing ';' like:
find . \( -iname "*.mak" \) -exec ls -ld {} ;

If I change my find-ls-option to be ("-exec ls -ld {} ;" . "-ld")
it then fails with:
find-name-dired RET ~/somepath RET *.mak
  ~/somepath/:
,----
|   find . \( -name "*.mak" \) -exec ls -ld {} ;
|   warning: extra args ignored after 'find . \\( -name "*.mak'
|   blah.mak
|   blah2.mak
|   find: \(: No such file or directory
|   
|   find exited abnormally with code 1 at Tue Mar 23 09:53:40

Anyone else had a problem like this?  Thanks.
