The docs I referred you to are for the current release. For earlier
releases, such as 7.4, you need to refer to the appropriate docs,
such as:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/interactive/sql-alterschema.html

It appears that the ability to assign a new owner to a schema via
ALTER SCHEMA was introduced some time after 7.4.

You may be able to munge the system tables, but you may want to
consider upgrading your PostgreSQL server installation.
