I wouldn't do it that way. At least on the grep use " jr ".
I'd start first with something like this:

# cd /
# find . -name "*" -print -exec ls -lAdF {} \;  | grep " jr " > fixit
#

I'd then edit up fixit for the parts which looked fixable like this

# grep " root " fixit > fixroot

Then I'd edit up fixroot to have

chown root <full path name here>

# grep -v " jr root " fixit > fixnoroot

This one will take more effort. You'll have to figure out what the
user names should be.

Actually, I think I might go for a re-install.
