Ah. I see what you mean. I don't think Windows has any concept of
file/directory ownership, so changing it from a Windows client is
strictly notional. NT simply took over from DOS/FAT and added ACLs. So
you can give/change access permissions, but you can't change the
ownership, cos there isn't any.
