Hi Thon,
If you run the command from the command line, what results do you get?
/usr/bin/sudo -E scripts/external_chown_script.py /mnt/ngs/analysis/svcgalaxy/galaxy-test/database/job_working_directory/000/148 svcgalaxy 10000
Note that external_chown_script.py can be modified as necessary to allow you to change ownership in whatever way is appropriate for your site. Since it should just be an NFS mount, as long as root squashing is not enabled and your svcgalaxy user has sudo permission to run this script, it should succeed.
