Because it would be a security violation for the userID, sm860, to change the ownership of a file to another user, like bpt3a1.

lfc-chgrp

LFC-CHGRP(1)							 LFC User Commands						      LFC-CHGRP(1)

NAME

       lfc-chgrp - change group ownership of a LFC directory/file in the name server

SYNOPSIS

       lfc-chgrp [-h] [-R] group path...

DESCRIPTION

       lfc-chgrp sets the group ownership of a LFC directory/file in the name server to the value of group.

       To  change  the group ID, the effective user ID of the process must match the owner ID of the file and the new group must be in the list of
       groups the caller belong to or the caller must have ADMIN privilege in the Cupv database.

       group  is either a valid group name or a valid numeric ID.

       path   specifies the LFC pathname.  If path does not start with /, it is prefixed by the content of the LFC_HOME environment variable.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -h     If path is a symbolic link, changes the ownership of the link itself.

       -R     Recursive mode.

EXIT STATUS

       This program returns 0 if the operation was successful or >0 if the operation failed.
