Ant is using a Java implementation of <tar>, not an external
program. As a result of this, <tar> is limited to Java's abilities,
which - unfortunately - means, it doesn't know the slightest thing
about file permissions or ownership.
The easiest (and ugliest) solution is to use <execon> together with a
a command line invocation of tar.
