The script as written applies perms to all files in the target folder,
whether new or not; it just only does it when new files are created.
I'm not on a Mac to test, but something like this might work - or it
might be slower than just doing everything in the folder every time:
on adding folder items to thisFolder after receiving theseItems
tell application "Finder"
repeat with thisItem in theseItems
if class of thisItem is folder then
set owner privileges of entire contents of
thisItem to read write
set group privileges of entire contents of
thisItem to read write
set everyones privileges of entire contents of
thisItem to read
else
set owner privileges of thisItem to read write
set group privileges of thisItem to read write
set everyones privileges of thisItem to read
end if
end repeat
end tell
end adding folder items to
