Thanks for looking at this, but you're solving the wrong problem. :)
It's the cat* directories that need to be owned by man.
Having thought about this more, I think it's the 330.catman script that
needs to ensure that these directories exist, likely with 'install -d'.
I'll try to get to it, but if someone else is quicker ...
