This is what I was afraid of.  Just out of curiosity, why does it only remove the executable attribute?  This makes it impossible to remove the directorys on solaris with out first resetting the permissions. 
Thanks for the feedback.

The problem is due to Java's not having a good understanding of file
permissions.  We have the same problem with tar.  The usuall answer is "if
you need to maintain permissions in your zip|tar, use <exec> and call the
appropriate tool."
