ok cool, that looks helpful. I think what i want it to do though is not
reapply perms to everything everytime a file is created, but just to
that file where ever it is created in the file structure of this large
directory. it's more that the trigger for the script needs to be as
deep as possible.

with your script, 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...
thanks for your help!
This is where "do shell script" SCREAMS out to be used.
Get the path of the folder, convert it to a POSIX path, (quoted form), and
then run chmod -R <perms> <path of folder>
One line, and it will go as deep as you like.
