ah! ok, that's the thing. This is a pretty large fileshare with lots of directory levels, so it would be very time consuming for me to add the folder action by hand. does any one know whether it is possible to do this programmatically? ideally, i need to create a script that attaches the script to any folder in the share when it is created too.
thanks!

if for instance i dragged an item into a subfolder
would that apply the perms to that item? that's what i need to happen...

AFAIK, Folder Actions aren't recursive, so you would have to add the Folder Action to the subfolder first. Which probably means you need to change the action so that it automatically attaches itself to new folders.. which I don't know how to do programmatically.
