I too ran the chown command on my USB flash and got the same
response as you did:

        localhost001 media # chown cru:users flash-drive1/
          chown: changing ownership of ‘flash-drive1/’: Operation not
    permitted

          drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 16384 Dec 31  1969 flash-drive1  

  Don't know what to tell you. interesting....my says Dec 31 1969.
