automator pass files to terminal for permissions change

I'm looking to setup an Automator actions to run on a folder change, to set all files only with all subfolders to read only... but leave the folders as read/write so additional files and folders can still be added...


so far i have:

Get Specified Finder Items > selected the folder I wanted to change file permissions in

Get Folder Contents

Filter Finder Items > Find files where None are Kind = Folder

Set Value of Variable > Files

Run shell script > Shell: /bin/bash , Pass Input: to stdin

chmod 444 "$1"


but no success...


any suggestions...

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)
