[Casper] Quickadd Failing

[Ron Prue]

Miles-

The package was created with an admin account originally.

Ryan-

The permissions are indeed not correct.  No allowance for an execute  
command on any of the contents.  Not sure how this ever happened as I  
have used this accross 26 machines in the past 2 months with no  
problem until now.  However we did do a server rebuild recently which  
may have reset the permission on the file.

 From your example it looks as if it should be rwx for users, group  
and other.  Any reason I can't just use the 'chmod' command and  
correct this?
