That turns out to be the name of a group.

But that was just the tip of the iceberg. I had never realized
how much these UIDs and GIDs matter, because every GNU/Linux
system I've ever worked with has greg:greg == 1000:1000 but
this server just wasn't set up that way. And I'd always thought
that UIDs and GIDs inside a chroot don't matter, because they've
always had the One True Value in my prior experience, so I never
needed to make sure they matched the host system's values--I just
figured they had their own namespace. It came as quite a shock
when 'wine' refused to initialize just because I had a
  /srv/chroot/whatever/home/my_corporate_username
that was owned by UID 1000, so I didn't actually own my home
directory.

I'm just glad I didn't try to use ACLs.
