I believe that this will not preserve all of the various permissions on
the lower subdirectories?
but by adding a second pass which did...
find . -type d -exec ls -al {} \;
and then parse that output to build the chown/chmod commands might work,
I'll give that a shot,
thanks..

Why do this? If you just want to recreate the directory structure, I'd
try something like:
rm RecreateDirectoryStructure.sh
for i in $(find . -type d);do echo mkdir -p $PWD/$i;done
>>RecreateDirectoryStructure.sh
chmod 755 RecreateDirectoryStructure.sh
Then just run RecreateDirectoryStructure.sh when I want to recreate the
directory structure. There may well be a better way.
