When source tree includes symbolic link which points non-existent file
and its owner/group is not root, automatically generated script for prep
stage fails at chgrp line.

This bug can be resolved either adding h option to the chgrp command or
specifying "root.root" option to the chown command.  A patch I created is
attached below for your info.
