I want to go through a directory recursively, find all files owned by a

cut aren't doing the trick for me, since there are different numbers of
spaces.  Is there a better tool to do this with?

I would think something like ...

find /top | xargs ls -ld | grep -w oldgroup | awk '{print $9}' | xargs chgrp newgroup
