Your "-path" argument is wrong. Try this:
find /var/data/foo -path '/var/data/foo/.snapshot' -prune -o -exec chownusera:groupb {} +
You need the whole path, and there is no need to escape the '.' character. I've also used "+" as the terminator. That's just an efficiency issue. It makes 'find' build command lines with as many matches as will fit rather than invoking 'chown' separately for each one.
Hi Robert
