I have the same problem with my auto-recovery script for ccd.  It realizes
that only one disk is present, configures it, mounts it, and recreates a
scratch directory.  But the last one has to be delayed in the boot since
chown isn't available till later.  BTW, you don't need chgrp, just do
chown user:group file.
