Are you using 64-bit python on both sides?

Python has a bug when dealing with 64-bit UID's and the chown command.
I'm not sure if using 64-bit python will make a difference.

See http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?17851 for more on this and why
Fedora/RedHat triggers this bug.

Would you mind filing a bug report with the Python project?

Andrew
