From the "Recovering from Windows penchant for spaces in user and file
names" Department:

Maybe I'm being really dense, but the --from switch isn't quite 
working as advertised:

george AT home ~/test
$ ls -ln
-rwxrwxrwx    1 544      513            48 Nov 17 03:59 testfile

george AT home ~/test
$ chown --from=514:513 1008:513 testfile

george AT home ~/test
$ ls -ln
-rwxrwxrwx    1 544      513            48 Nov 17 03:59 testfile

Thanks.
