Yes, this is a know bug in CMU version 2.27, it will be fix in the next
release of CMU, which is currently in testing.  

To fix your current problem apply the following patch to CMU.  It will
fix the problem of setting permissions on files where the user name
contains a period.  

To apply the patch use the following command:
patch -p0 < userdot-2.27.patch

You can also download it from:
