cannot chown while as root. How come ?!?!

jmborr

Lurker
In the terminal emulator applet:
$su
#id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root)
#cd /sdcard/download/
#ls -l qwerty.kl
----rwxr-x system sdcard_rw ....qwerty.kl
#chown 0.0 qwerty.kl
Unable to chmod qwerty.kl: Operation not permitted

Why do I get a 'chmod' error message when issuing a chown command? Why is chown not working while as root? :confused:

Any help is greatly welcomed!
