AaaHaaa. !!
I've tracked down the exact situation when it fails.
If I try to set the owner to an account that exists on my machine, it will
set the owner to the account that's defined on my machine.
So,
print "New owner is " . $sd->Owner('BUILTIN\User2') . "\n";
Sets the owner to DOMAIN\User2 as User2 isn't defined on my machine,
but
print "New owner is " . $sd->Owner('BUILTIN\User1') . "\n";
sets the owner to LOCALMACHINE\User1 as User1 is defined on my machine.
It doesn't matter if I use BUILTIN or DOMAINNAME.
