Using .* might end up setting the parent directory to owen:owen also (as in
/home rather than just /home/owen).

Assuming he's in his home dir, I think that Owen is simply looking for:

chown -R owen:owen .

Or specifying the actual path to his home dir:

chown -R owen:owen ~owen

I doubt that it has anything to do with his default group, seeing as he
has explicitly set "owen" as the group.
