chmod permission denied on windows 2008


Running chmod under 2008 simply doesnt seem to work here,
which is really strange.

[root@blade0]/: id
uid=500(root) gid=513(None) groups=513(None),544(Administrators),545(testuser)

[root@blade0]/tmp: touch test

[root@blade0]/tmp: chown testuser test
chown: changing ownership of `test': Permission denied

[root@blade0]/tmp: ls -l test
-rw-r--r-- 1 root None 0 Jul  3 13:15 test
[root@blade0]/tmp:

[root@blade0]/tmp: grep testuser /etc/passwd
testuser:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1002:513:Test User,U-BLADE0\testuser,S-1-5-21-1034854827-3221323542-428946914-1002:/usr/home/testuser:/bin/bash


[root@blade0]/: grep testuser /etc/group
testuser:S-1-5-32-545:545:

[root@blade0]/: ls -l |grep tmp
drwxrwxrwt+  3 Administrators None   4096 Jul  3 13:22 tmp

All this works fine on XP and 2003 but is there something silly
I'm missing for 2008?

Regards
Steve
