There's no point in checking ownership - the sandbox is owned by the 
person who checked it out, just like any other application (on most 
systems only root can change ownership of a file anyway).

Permissions are versioned, even across checkouts on Win32 if needed - 
although only the execute bit is normally considered useful.
