Umbraco directory permissions | umbPermissions Script

It has bugged me since I first used Umbraco that if I was doing a manual installation I had to set the directory permissions

I just downloaded a backup of one of my clients Umbraco sites and I was setting up a copy locally and of course I had to set the directory permissions, so I thought there must be a better way!

I did a bit of Googling and had a look on the Umbraco forum but I could not find a script to perform this task, then I came across Set ACL on Source Forge and I set about writing my own little script.

Save the following script as umbpermissions.bat and save it in the same directory as Set ACL
