It's quoted wrong. Each predicate must be a separate argument, not one
run-on argument. You probably meant:
find /home/sky/projects/findutils/sp \
'(' -fstype ext3 -o -type d -wholename prune1 \
-o -type d -wholename prune2 -o -type d -wholename prune3 ')' \
-prune -o -print0

Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
