Duh, brain cramp...

Just to be clear, to set the permissions on an existing GPO, select the GPO
from the list of linked GPOs and then click properties. On the security tab
give the user/group the Full Control (or just Write if you don't want them
to be able to change security permissions) permission and then click OK.
This will set the permissions on the
domain.name/System/Policies/{GUID_of_GPO} container and
SYSVOL\Policies\{GUID_of_GPO}folder for you.

Have a look at this KB article for more info:
