I'm not sure about icacls (.exe?) or xacls (.exe?), but I did mention
cacls.exe. Did you specifically try what I suggested, i.e.:

I cannot be sure, but I think I have done something similar with cacls.EXE
(the latest version as found in XP and 2k3). I think, however, that it may
depend on whether or not the folder structure already is setup with "dynamic
inheritence" of permissions.

Anyway, I'd suggest you try setting the permission on one folder using
cacls.exe, and see if the change is inherited.

If it isn't, try it on another folder after having used the GUI to replicate
permissions to see if that results in permission inheritance.
