The plist can be generated automatically with "make makeplist" there is
no way it is hard to do, or maintain.

If it is an empty folder, or you just want the folder itself to have the
permissions, do:

@dir(%%owner%%,%%group%%,optional mode) the/dir

like described in the page I sent you to.

If you also need to files, add a:

@owner %%owner%%
@group %%group%%

block before the files of that directory, and add:

@owner
@group

after it.
