Dick 'chown -R rsteff *' (or whatever files you want to change. Leave off the quotes, of course.
I'm familiar with chown -R because usually, when I copy files from another machine, they end up being owned by nobody:nobody, although I haven't ever used $USER.
Perhaps this is a ubuntu family 'feature?'. When the drive with the dick-owned files is mounted run the above command via sudo. It may be that the permissions are too restricted for rsteff to change ownership of files owned by dick on that drive.
