chown for particular directory

Sorry, I left out some information.

I am running sudo 1.5.9p4 in Solaris 8.

I have already include the following in my sudoers file:
Cmnd_Alias      CHOWNBKUP=/usr/bin/chown /backup/

However, it appears not to restrict the operator from changing ownership 
outside the /backup directory.

Is the syntax wrong?

Thanks,
Dan
