[PLUG] Emacs regex syntax error

Probably have a grouping parenthesis out of place here.
The file has dates in MM/DD/YYYY format and I want to convert this to
YYYY-MM-DD.
The search string I wrote is
([0-9]\{1,2\})/([0-9]\{1,2\})/([0-9]\{4\})
and the replacement string is
$3-$1-$2
Emacs tells me there are no replacements.
The emacs wiki's list of regex symbols shows the occurrance number needs a
backslash escape before the braces.
TIA,
Rich
