Others already gave the answer (escaping the ;).
Besides that you better avoid other circumstances (failures like "too much arguments") by using xargs instead of -exec. So the line from above would look like
find /backups/fcws/ -mtime +15 -maxdepth 1 \ -type d -print0 | xargs -0 rm -rf

Thanks to everyone for your thoughts..
Escaping the ; didn't solve the problem but the above command line is working fine..
Later..
