Here is the problem--------------------------------------------^
The ";" is part of the find command. Try "...rm {} \; ; rm -f ..."
I have not tested this but should works.

Of course, you COULD use "-delete" in the find command rather than
doing an "-exec rm {} \;":
sh crawl_user(a)1.2.3.4 " rm -f '/cloud_nfs/*hash*.dat' ; find
/cloud_nfs -name '*austincc*master*book*.dat' -delete; rm -f
'/cloud_nfs_fetch/*hash*.dat' ; "
Might be a bit cleaner and less confusing.
