chown problem- created directory owned by root that user has no permissions for

["David Bruce Jr" <dbartbruce@REMOVEME.home.com>]

I hope you guys/gals can help me with this:

I used SCP to create a directory within the cgi-bin of a user
I was logged in as root at the time. The user does not have 
chmod permissions on that subdirectory in it's cgi-bin
the user does have chmod permissions on all of it's 
directories except the one that root created.

I was told by my server's admin people to do this:
cd ~myuser
chown -R myuser.myuser

it didn't work, I get this:

[root@server /root]# cd ~myuser
[root@server myuser]# chown -R myuser.myuser
chown: too few arguments
Try `chown --help' for more information.

what arguments do I need to get this to work?

thanks
David Bruce Jr
