Unfortunately this won't work for mine as the permissions are locked.
Amusingly enough it's only the directories that aren't given group/world
permissions as all the files are 777!
Code:
--------------------
chmod 755 <directoryname>
--------------------
does nothing to the directory itself!
That's also the reason why the adding the sbs user to a group doesn't
work, the directories have no group permissions therefore only root and
the user can see the folders :(
