| Folder Action for changing privileges |

Hi all,
For some time now I've been successfully
using a script application bundle for changing the permissions of the folder
contents dropped onto it and today I tried making it into a folder action
and, while it is successfully running, the permissions aren't changing.
Here's the code:
on
adding folder items to
theFolder
after receiving
theAddedItems
try
repeat
with
thisItem
in
theAddedItems
set
FilePath
to
quoted form
of
POSIX path
of
thisItem
do
shell script "chmod -R 777 "
& FilePath
end
repeat
display
dialog "Permissions changed successfully."
buttons
{"Thanks!"} default
button 1
on
error
display
dialog "Changing permissions failed.
Please try it manually" buttons
{"OK"} default
button 1
end
try
end
adding folder items to
As a test, I set the "Other"
privileges on all contents of a folder to "No access" then dropped
it into the folder (with the action set to it) and the "success"
message appears but permissions are the same. If I drop the same folder
onto my bundle app (with same code) the "Others" permission correctly
sets to "Read/write".
All assistance would be most appreciated!
Cheers,
Cojcolds
