Okay; my problem was just some old code that needed a "make clean." Yours
looks a bit different, and I think I know what your chown error is
from. Linux is one flavor of unix which doesn't allow anyone but "root"
(or someone logged in as root such as through the netatalk 1.5 admin group
feature) to change the owner of a file. A user can't even give their own
file to someone else. As I understand it, it's because disk quotas would
be hard to track if that operation was allowed. A non-root user on your
system probably tried to change the owner of a directory. Still, there's a
peculiarity here which I can't account for. The uid shouldn't be -1, and
the gid shouldn't be 0. I'd be interested to know how to repeat this
error. Maybe it's a bug that still needs to be fixed in 1.5.
