I agree with jim mcnamara findings. The original cron just changed the permissions of the directory but not the files within the directory.

The whole process can be one script called from cron. This untested example avoids expanding "*" to an unknown number of filenames, deals with filenames containing spaces, and will work for any number of files:

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
for DIR in "/www/aublg/blog/userfiles/images" \
   "/www/aublg/blog/userfiles/flash" \
   "/www/aublg/blog/userfiles/documents"
   do
          if [ -d "${DIR}" ]
          then
                   cd "${DIR}"
                   find . -type f -print | while read FILENAME
                   do
                            chmod 666 "${FILENAME}"
                   done
          else
                  echo "Directory missing: ${DIR}"
          fi
   done
