The only time it doesn't work is if you interact with windows who likes 
to set the execute bit on as much as it can. (samba by default maps the 
'archive' bit to the 'execute' bit. I don't know why)
So I want to make all 'directories' rwx, but all 'files' rw.
So I'm stuck with the pair of find commands.
I just wish chmod understood the difference between files and directories.
