I think you have misunderstood some of what has been said in the replies, doing a chmod u=rwx,g=rx,o=x or chmod 751 on a directody will give it the permissions of drwxr-x--x as you say it has, so to me it looks like chmod had done what you asked. It may help us if you told us what you had the permissions set to before you tried to change them, and what you expect the result of the chmod command to be.
