No because the same command works fine on a different server. I type...
# chown -R root:"MYCHARTS\site002_group" /zpool0/ts_folders/002
#
I get no error and the ownership gets set properly. The other server has the
same OS and samba version. The smb.conf and nsswitch.conf files were copied from
the working server and the services were restarted. That's why I'm
stuck.
