No, I have the same problem: in my notes, I have:
  $ find <driverPackDir> -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
  $ find <driverPackDir> -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

By the way, did you generate a cache file for your drivers ?
It provides a significant increase of driver search speed:

  $ cd <driverPackDir>
  $ /path/to/unattended/dosbin/search-win-drivers.pl -g . > ./search-win-drivers.cache

(The cache file has to be regenerated each time you modify anything in the corresponding folder).

Cheers,
Pierre,
