Cody, since usernames are unique across the server, you aren't expecting
that you can setup a user named "stats" on each site are you?  Care to share
what motivated you to make the above change?  Maybe there's an alternative
to address whatever problem caused you to go the above route.

/home/sites/www.yourcompany.com/users/stats/web doesn't exist so chown can't
change ownership on it.  And unless you manually created
/home/sites/www.yourcompany.com/users/stats or called a script to create
users/stats for each site, that directory probably doesn't exist either.
Please verify these directories exist and describe if you took these steps.
