30 Ouch. That's file system corruption. You need to fsck that disk right
31 now. I once saw similar stuff on a reiser filesystem and the only thing
32 that helped was --rebuild-tree. Good luck on your end.

40 Two reasons:
41
42 1. You only chowned the directory itself, not the files in it. What you
43 probably wanted was
44
45 chown -R herbert:users /home/herbert/.ssh
46
47 2. The filesystem metadata is corrupt, so you wont be able to do
48 anything in that directory anyway.
