I was just going to post something similar to that.

Try something like this:
#!/bin/bash

Your query you want to run.......

chown user:user /path/to/report.cvs

Then put this in your cron.daily or where ever you wish to run it or crontab

00 03 * * * /path/to/script

I think I explained that right. :)
