OK, like everybody else has said, you need the 'x' permission for
direcories. Here's what's been missing from the posts (and what you need
to do):
cd /blah
find . -type d -exec chmod 1777 {} \; -print
find . -type f -exec chmod 1666 {} \; -print
However be sure that you understand its security implications. If you are
using SAMBA, use its configuration to force a user/group when accessing
the directories, and make the directories/files chmod to 755/644 (you
won't need the sticky bit anymore).
cheers,
