bug#9002: file-error Doing chown operation not permitted

R runs the command dired-do-rename.

Try this:

Have two directories, both owned by you, but on separate disks.

Try to move a file that is NOT owned by you from one to the other.

Move `/cf/updates/df.j3d' to `/home/jidanni/df.j3d' failed:
(file-error Doing chown operation not permitted /home/jidanni/df.j3d)

That is because emacs is not using the mv(1) command like it should, but
instead resorting to a different error prone half home baked method or
something.

Tested on Debian.

P.S.,
file-error: Doing chown #looks better than
file-error Doing chown
