check_perms should work if you run it as root and you do several 
passes until it reports no errors.

If it didn't work, could you let us know what files or directories it 
failed to fix? That way one of the developers could have a look at 
what went wrong and see if it is something that could be fixed.

If you did not run it as root, the user you did run as may not have 
permission to change the ownership and file permissions to what they 
need to be.
