The current user is: rocketmouse
The uid is         : 1001

Isn't it possible to change the uid to 1000?
This would cause that the owner wouldn't be rocketmouse anymore, but
still 1001. I then could run chown -R for /home/rocketmouse to switch
from 1001 to back to rocketmouse = new uid 1000.

Or another idea would be to create a new user with the uid 1000 and then
to add rocketmouse to the group of this user. I guess this is what you
already recommended.

Ralf
