At the heart of this would be the question -- why do they want to own the copyright? Is the software something that needs deals with securing their systems so it needs to be kept secret or has something to do with a proprietary process to their business? Do they have concerns that you would do similar work for their competition? Could they have plans to market the software you create for them? If that is the case, I can see them wanting to own it.
Sometimes clients have misconceptions about copyright ownership and that it implies some sort of control over something they may not need control over at all.
