The ausyscall program was created just for troubleshooting things like this.

# ausyscall x86_64 chown32
Unknown syscall chown32 using x86_64 lookup table

# ausyscall i386 chown32
lchown32           198
fchown32           207
chown32            212

So, that means its only a 32bit syscall:
 -a exit,always -F arch=b32 -S chown32

On 64 bit machines, you normally should have rules for both the 64 bit and 32 
bit syscalls. Not all syscalls are on both interfaces.
