[ale] chmod

[Alex Carver]

He shouldn't need recursive mode if he's inside the same directory as
the files.

However, which user owns the file?  If you're not the explicit owner
then it's not going to change permissions.  Sometimes it doesn't change
permissions if you're a member of the group, either.
