Noted, will be corrected in v3!

I added `-mindepth 1` because the '/var/lib/ceph' dir would be included in
`find`'s results otherwise, which isn't the case in the original code.
`-maxdepth 2` is to limit it to the depth that I had originally intended in
v1 - files and subdirectories, as well as sub-subdirectories and files in
those.

I agree that everything (in those two levels?) could just be `chown`ed
instead though - would make the above a little less verbose and only
need one invocation.

ORing the two checks didn't work in my case - turns out I just held `find`
wrongly.

Will correct all the above in v3 - thanks for your feedback!
