I tried this first and it didn't work.

This returned "----setperms: unknown option"
So I tried it using "--setperms" and it returned
"chmod: invalid mode string: '[various 7-digit numbers]'"
It seemed to be looping through this with different 7 digit
numbers coming back. The mode string indicates how to set the
permissions.
How would chmod interpret ///? All files and directories 3
layers deep?
I'll have to see if I can get hold of a PC that I can make a
fresh install on to compare the permissions.
Thanks for the help.
