Setting Folder Security

I sure hope someone can help here..

I have a file server (win2k) to which has a bunch of folders that need security changed on them. Here's my issue - the folders are all named the same; however, are in different parts of the drive structure.

For example
networkdrive:\Projects\Proj1\needset
networkdrive:\Projects\2007\Proj1\needset
networkdrive:\Projects\2007\Proj2\needset
networkdrive:\Projects\2007\Proj3\needset
networkdrive:\Projects\2008\Proj1\needset
networkdrive:\Projects\2008\Proj2\needset
networkdrive:\Projects\2008\Proj3\needset

I need to give a particular security group modify rights on that 'needset' folder - no matter where that folder would reside. The issue is, that this group can only have 'read-only' access to the folder above it, so I cannot simply let rights inherit down from any other higher common folder.

Is there a way to which I could do this via VBScript?
