I think you can have only one action (either -exec or -print), but not sure about it. Anyway, my first instinct when things are getting to be more complicated is to use while cycle, like this:
find . |while read FILE ; do if grep "$FILE" '{}' >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then echo "$FILE" >> ./found_files fi done
I don't think the '{}' construct for 'find' will work on the other side of a pipe....
Of course, that's what I get from copying original text. Should read:
find . |while read FILE ; do if grep "$FILE" "$1" >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then echo "$FILE" >> ./found_files fi done
