Public bug reported:

To reproduce, gksudo nautilus to get root permissions, find a folder
with files inside. Right click the folder and choose properties, go onto
the permissions tab and change the owner and group to something else, eg
to ubuntu if root, or root if ubuntu. Click the 'Apply perms to enclosed
files' option and then close the window. Wait a bit before closing it if
you wish, but when you go into that folder and check the permissions of
the files inside, they will not have changed.

I noticed this when copying my firefox profile from my main partition
onto my live USB of the daily build.
