Any help out there? I tried it and found the problem. Chown cannot be done on files which haven't seen `stores' yet. But the test was also triggered for directories. You can create an empty file in the temp directory and from then on the chown will work. I've already put a proper fix in the tree, which will go out as coda-5.2.4 this week.
