If the user do not own the files, the chown would fail. The copy should set the ownership (because the user is probably unable to create files owned by another user) tar or cp --no-preserve=ownership might if the ownership information do survive the copy.... if the chown does work `whoami` can be replaced with `id -un`:`id -gn` to change the group as well.
