tests: fix numeric.at for BSD

While creating file, BSD kernels inherit the group ownership from
parent directory.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2016-06/msg00000.html

* tests/numeric.at: Attempt to 'chown' the newly created directory
to proper group (at least on affected machines that command is
expected to succeed).
