Owner and group of files and directories is really numeric.  You can do
this in OS X:

sudo chown -R 1000 /volumes/Untitled/home/brianokeefe

or you can do this in Unbuntu (as root):

chown -R 1000 /home/brianokeefe

or this in Ubuntu (as root, assuming your user name is brianokeefe in
Ubuntu):

chown -R brianokeefe /home/brianokeefe

Any will have the desired effect.  It's fine to have UID 501 in OS X and
UID 1000 in Ubuntu.  I'd leave it that way...
