This is a followup from Bug#11912.

The defcustom dired-chmod-program is no longer used by dired or any 
derivative. It is now used only by ange-ftp-process-file.

I suggest marking dired-chmod-program as obsolete (or removing it), and 
changing ange-ftp-process-file's (or (bound-and-true-p 
dired-chmod-program) "chmod") to simply "chmod".
