Robert >>> You're right - I'd accidentally omitted the final ';'.  I 
also needed to run the command with root permission:

sudo find ~/music -group diana -exec chgrp root {} \; -exec chmod 664 {} \;

Bingo!  Perfect!

Thank you - and everyone - for the all the help.  (And it's not even 
09:00 yet!  You guys are amazing.)
