You can use find to do the recursive part if that's the part that's broken:
find /path/to/search -type d -exec chmod -a# 0 \{\}\;
That assumes your chmod command actually does what you want. The \{\} part is
the found directory path, the \; terminates the exec command, and note that I
use tcsh, so the escapes are for that shell, not sure what you need in bash.
