Thanks for your time.

Ok i changed the code to following:

Code:
ssh -t -t $1 -p 3344 "stat -c %G $cpath/FILE" > group.log

group=`cat group.log`

echo $group

ssh $1 -p 3344 "chown $2:$group $cpath/FILE"

When i open the group.log file with vi and :set list it looks like this:

Code:
users$
~
~
~
~
:set list                                     1,5           All

If i run the script with sh -x
Code:
+ ssh -t -t 192.168.0.99 -p 3344 'stat -c %G /backup/scott/data/FILE'
Connection to 85.214.147.44 closed.
++ cat group.log
+ group=$'users\r'
+ echo $'users\r'
users

 /backup/scott/data/FILE'wn scott:users
chown: âscott:users\râ: ungültige Gruppe

@ripat
Which charset i have to check ? Is there an extra charset for ssh ?

Since the server whos executing the script is an old SuSE 9.3 and the target machines are Debian (Etch) and RHEL and some other distributions... i guess its possible that the charset is not matching.

Greetings Linién

dpns-chown

DPNS-CHOWN(1)							DPNS User Commands						     DPNS-CHOWN(1)

NAME

       dpns-chown - change owner and group of a DPNS directory/file in the name server

SYNOPSIS

       dpns-chown [-h] [-R] owner[:group] path...

       dpns-chown [-h] [-R] :group path...

DESCRIPTION

       dpns-chown sets the owner and/or the group of a DPNS directory/file in the name server to the values in owner and group respectively.

       To change the owner ID, if the group ID does not change and if the caller and the new owner ID belong to that group, GRP_ADMIN privilege is
       needed, otherwise the caller must have ADMIN privilege in the Cupv database.  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.

       owner  is either a valid username or a valid numeric ID.

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

       path   specifies the DPNS pathname.  If path does not start with /, it is prefixed by the content of the DPNS_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.
