SQL Error Msg 4988 when Creating Table with persisted Computed column

Hi,
I'm trying to create a table in SQL 2008 that has a Computed column with Presisted property. The Computed formula calls a user defined function in dbo schema. However, table it self resides in a different schema.

When I execute the following (see the code).  I get this error telling me that my table has different owner then the underlaying function.  I even deleted the function and recreated it using the same user login that is creating the table.  How do I fix this.  I Can not put the function into the same schema as the table.  This function must reside in dbo schema because of replication.

Msg 4988, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Cannot persist computed column 'JoinedName'. Underlying object 'JoinName' has a different owner than table 'Users'.
