This problem seems to crop up in Jooma way too much. No worries, though, there is a simple PHP fix:

$directory = "#DIRECTORY#";
$dir_hand = opendir($directory);
while (($file = readdir($dir_hand)) !== false)
 {
chmod($directory . '/' . $file, 0766);
 }

Simply create a new file with a .php extension, throw this code in there, replace #DIRECTORY# with the directory you'd like to fix and then navigate to it in your browser and everything should be fine...

Ack! My sincerest apologies. I should've displayed the code wrapped in <?php and ?> tags; give that a try...
