   Yes, I'm with the grammar police; we're here to be helpful.

Works for me, even on CentOS/RHEL-5.9/10 which does indeed have
findutils > 4.2.5:

$ rpm -qf `which find`
findutils-4.2.27-6.el5

and the find command seems to work as intended:

  $ find jj -printf "%M %-10u %-10g %10s %p -> %l\n"  | cut -c 44-
  jj ->
  jj/usr ->
  jj/usr/bin ->
  jj/usr/bin/test file with spaces ->
