Bug Description
To reproduce, gksudo nautilus to get root permissions, find a folder with files inside. Right click the folder and choose properties, go onto the permissions tab and change the owner and group to something else, eg to ubuntu if root, or root if ubuntu. Click the 'Apply perms to enclosed files' option and then close the window. Wait a bit before closing it if you wish, but when you go into that folder and check the permissions of the files inside, they will not have changed.
I noticed this when copying my firefox profile from my main partition onto my live USB of the daily build.

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
