Possibly you're running into ACL problems.  Are there any ACLs in use
anywhere on that file system?  If so, that can prevent the "chmod"
system call from succeeding, and this will cause the "chmod" command
to fail as well.  If the problem is reproducible, then "strace" will
tell you what went wrong.

It appears from the diagnostics that you are running a modified
version of coreutils, so you may need to install a vanilla version
to track down the problem.  I suggest using the latest CVS version,
or if that's too much hassle the latest alpha version.  See:

ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.3.0.tar.gz
