I've been through this file ownership change.  The chown command has
an option just for this purpose.

   --from=CURRENT_OWNER:CURRENT_GROUP
     change  the  owner and/or group of each file only if its current
     owner and/or group match those specified here.   Either  may  be
     omitted,  in  which case a match is not required for the omitted
     attribute.

Along with the --recursive option the wholesale change of UID/GID is a
piece of cake.
