Avi I'm not sure here... but as I've seen msec working. It will only change permissions if the setting it finds is more open than what is allowed not less. IF (and this is a big if) my observations are right then it sees 750 as being great than 755 so it says all is ok. Now if you chmod 755 the docs dir and it resets it to 750 then .... something isn't kosher.
