Did you use the "Apply onto:" drop down option to match the target object
such as:

"This folder only"
"This folder, subfolders and files"
"This folder and subfolders"
"This folder and files"
etc.

Another option "Apply these permissions to objects and/or containers within
this container only" may help as well (found at bottom of the same
permissions entry dialog box).

Do let us know if this helps. Thanks!
