You probably don't have the same problem. The OP's problem was having the
backslash escaping the space between {} and ; meaning that the whole sequence
was treated as one word "{} ;" rather than two words "{}" and ";". Unless you
made the same mistake in your command line, your problem is a different one.

Actually, the cause of your problem is that you're running all the commands
from a DOS shell, not a bash shell, so the ; does not need to be escaped as it
is only a command terminator in bash, not cmd.exe; your solution *will* fail
in a bash shell.
