Put something like the following in your ~/.ssh/config:

Host otherhost
  HostKeyAlias otherhost
  ProxyCommand ssh noah at domain.com nc 192.168.1.20 22

Then you can simply run:

ssh otherhost 'chown -R noah:noah /shares/internal/Music/'


Reading the ssh_config man page might reveal a number of other nice
features ssh has to offer.
