I can repoduce it when I do this:

	rm -f bz
	>bz
	chown root bz
	>bz
	chown lha bz

or

	rm -f bz
	>bz
	chown lha bz
	>bz
	chown root bz


But then its the fileserver that returns the EPERM, apprently we sent
something that upsets it.

I just can't figure out the maze in the openafs fileserver, guess I have
to single-step it so I can figure out what its doing.

Love
