Hi Zodiac,
as 'misk' wrote before, the 'lock permission' table isn't suitable for most ACL jobs, because in most cases it deletes all the (local and inherited) permissions which the file allready has.
Go to: http://www.appdeploy.com/scripts/view.asp?id=523
There, i have written down a tutorial for using SetACL (currently the best tool for the job) and VBS to do exactly what you need.
Hope this helps,
Regards, Nick

Zodiac,
If you using Wise Package studio to create your transforms and custom actions there is a good site that explains how to use the Wise interface to change folder and individual file permissions without having to use ACLS it also goes into creating custom actions.
I found the information good as a step in understanding file folder permission changes/custom actions before tackling ACL tools.
site www.ewall.org cant paste the exact link as the site im at blocks it through "websense"
-look towards the left hand side of the main page for a link regarding packaging.
