Off the top of my head...

Couldn't you skip the part about checking the owner and just use
sys.unixShellCommand to "chown" everything to your account?

Another option is to use cron to change the permissions periodically and
call Frontier to do its thing afterwards.

See http://frontier-osx.userland.com/callingFrontier for instructions on
calling Frontier scripts from the Unix side.
