chmod -R 600 $d/*
chmod -R 600 /*
chmod 600 $d/*
chmod 600 *
chmod 600 /*

The above commands do not work :(
gives: ?invalid command

for i in $( ls -x1A ); do
chmod 600 $i
done

also does not work. The loop gives an appropriate number of "?Invalid 
command"'s followed by: "(file-name) done: No such file or directory"

I'm stuck. there has to be a way to do this.
