Permissions when new folder made

I've go an AppleScript which mounts a remote volume, checks for the existence of a directory and, if it's not there, creates a new directory before dropping images into it.

The containing directory has permissions of 777 (rwx for everyone). The new directory ends up with 755 (rwx for owner, r-x for everyone else).

1) I thought that items inherited their containing directory's permissions? Although we do have 2 different users here - all be it belonging to the same group.

2) How can I set the new directory to have permissions of 777? Do I have to "do shell script..."?

TIA

Simon Forster
