Root unable to change ownership and modify permissions

[I Am Me]

Hi Guys,

I am trying to change the ownership and permissions on a directory using the root login
and am not able to do it. Here is what I have been trying :

root at thishost:~# whoami; ls -ld /media/Andrew/Protected/Projects/
root
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 2010-04-05 09:52 /media/Andrew/Protected/Projects/
root at thishost:~# chown -R iamme /media/Andrew/Protected/Projects/
root at thishost:~# ls -ld /media/Andrew/Protected/Projects/
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 2010-04-05 09:52 /media/Andrew/Protected/Projects/
root at thishost:~# chmod 755 /media/Andrew/Protected/Projects/
root at thishost:~# ls -ld /media/Andrew/Protected/Projects/
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 2010-04-05 09:52 /media/Andrew/Protected/Projects/
root at thishost:~#

I don't know If I am missing something very insignificant, and if yes I am not able to catch it
