I think the problem is with pt_chown on our system.

$ ls -l /usr/libexec/pt_chown
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5236 Nov 7 2003 /usr/libexec/pt_chown
There is no execute permission !! It was removed due to some other reason. I
will get the permissions set correctly and then verify if the problem goes
away.

Thanks,
Sunil
