To code above is bourne shell code and the new lines are intended.
You may replace the new lines with `;' ...
find directory | while read f ; do setfacl -m $(getfacl "$f" | grep user | sed
s/user/group/) "$f"; done
Or within a shell script
#!/bin/sh
find ${1+"$@"} | while read f
do
m=$(getfacl --omit-header "$f" 2> /dev/null | sed -n 's/user/group/p')
test -n "$m" || continue
setfacl -m $m "$f"
done
