Dear Wolf,
Thaks a lot for opening my eyes. Finally i have found out the solution it workd
fine, manuallu as you said, i referred the man pages of chown and did it
manually.
The next thing is to test it through a script and finally run the script in the
cluster server to do the job.
Thank you so much everybody!!!!
Three cheers!!

Obviously you didn't follow the examples I provided, or you would have seen
that it should have worked, considering it works the world over on all *NIX
systems I have ever encountered.
Please read further into your sys admin manuals and the manual pages for chown.
Once you have fixed your errors, the command will work. Unitil you have fixed
your errors though, the issues will remain.
