Hmmm, so after a few further tests it
isn't working as good as I was hoping... <8-{
I have a folder which I manually set
to:
Owner (design):RW
Group (design):No Access
Others: No Access
The script, when run on that folder,
doesn't change group or others to R/W. They stay No Access.
I then tried incorporating Stan's AppleScript
"way" of doing it and the folder privileges still didn't change.
I then tried the following command in Terminal:
sudo chmod -R ugo+rw ...path name
... entered my password and the folder
still remained as above - all the files within it are changing but not
the dropped folder nor any folders in it.
How do I get this to explicityly apply
R/W to all files/folders throughout?
Cheers,
Coj

Oops. I just realized the -R option of the chmod command changes privileges
of the entire file hierarachy in the target path. To that end, the vanilla
code changes to this:
tell application "Finder"
set owner privileges of entire contents of thisFolder to read write
set group privileges of entire contents of thisFolder to read write
set everyones privileges of entire contents of thisFolder to read
write
end tell
