Chef shell_out just giving hex values

I'm creating the Chef recipe below. However, my shell_out calls are just returning hex values for the expanded variable. How to get the value of the find command in the variable, and not a junk hex value?

Here is the relevant code snipet from my recipe::

so = nil

bash "getPath" do
  Chef::Resource::RubyBlock.send(:include, Chef::Mixin::ShellOut)
  command = "find \/ -path \\*ohai\/plugins"
  so = shell_out(command)
end

listOfFiles = ["#{so}\cert.rb","#{so}\key.rb","#{so}\perms.rb","#{so}\propertiesFiles.rb","#{so}\warFiles.rb","#{so}\yum.rb"]
templates = { 1 => "cert.rb", 2 => "key.rb", 3 => "perms.rb", 4 => "propertiesFiles.rb", 5 => "warFiles.rb", 6 => "yum.rb" }
i = 1

listOfFiles.each do |remote|
  template "#{remote}" do
    source 'cert.rb' #this is going to be a variable once I figure out how to call it from the "templates" hash. Just doing a static file for troubleshooting purposes now
    owner 'root'
    group 'root'
    mode '0644'
  action :create
  end
end

Here is part of the chef-client run output:
