Yeah, that warning will probably be misleading most of the time.  The
filesystem checks for ownership changing during the initial
fs-abilities checks, so it will warn about not being able to change
ownership before it knows whether or not it needs to.

Anyway I just removed it, now you don't get a warning even if you are
backing up other people's files and aren't root.
