That's normal. By default, chown changes the ownership of the file
pointed to by the link, not the link itself. If you need to change the
link's owner/group, use the "-h" option. From "man chown":
-h If the file is a symbolic link, change the owner of
the symbolic link. Without this option, the owner of
the file referenced by the symbolic link is changed.
Cheers,

You need to use "chown -h".
