Folder depth & cacls

I am trying to edit the permissions of two folder trees (on 2 servers) using
either cacls or xcacls (want to add permissions for a specific group so don't
want to use the GUI) and am hitting a problem related to the folder depth
and/or path length. The process runs so far but then fails and I'm pretty
sure it's related to the depth of some folders.

Getting either "The data area passed to a system call is too small" or "The
filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect." dpending on
which server I run it on.

If I knew that it was only affecting a couple of folders I would just go
down one level and run the command there but I know this is NOT the case as
there are a LOT of folders to run through.

Does anyone have any ideas for a workaround for this - maybe using a script
or something ?

Thanks
