It isn't. ChmodJob calls the unix chown()/chgrp() functions directly (for local urls only of course).
Probably because we couldn't add virtuals to SlaveBase during the kde3 timeframe,
and because implementing it for the local file system was the priority.
I'm fine with this being virtualized for kde4, i.e. delegated to SlaveBase.
