I cannot see what your access rights are (all I got was "?" as shown above).  
Add -r to chgrp to recursively change the files under it.  Finally, if the 
character "d" is correct for directory, then your known_hosts is not a file 
as it should be, but perhaps by mistake you created it as a directory and 
have not adapted your ssh_config, or ~/.ssh/config to reflect that.

HTH.
