Yeah... calling ssh 300 times, to do 300 mkdir calls is a bit of a waste.

Instead of hardcoding all the paths in the script, I'd make a tarball. That will preserve permissions and let you bundle everything in one call.
I'd run this script once:

Code:
mkdir /tmp/skel
pushd /tmp/skel
mkdir -p archivefiles dropbox logfiles lookupfiles maestro parameterfiles rejectfiles scriptfiles sqlfiles stagefiles targetfiles
chmod -R 775 /tmp/skel
tar -cf ~/skel-775.tar -C /tmp/skel .
chmod -R 777 /tmp/skel
tar -cf ~/skel-777.tar -C /tmp/skel .
popd
rm -Rf /tmp/skel

Then, whenever you want to make that whole slew of directories:

Code:
mkdir -p /path/to/$Env/$Projectname/
tar -C /path/to/$Env/$Projectname/ -xf ~/skel-775.tar

It even works over ssh, and should be tons faster:

Code:
ssh username@host mkdir -p /path/to/$Env/$Projectname ';' tar -C /path/to/$Env/$Projectname -xf - < ~/skel-775.tar

I question the need for 777 permissions at all, really. That's a silly idea in general, giving the entire universe write-access to your directories.

       To exit the live shell, use ctrl+d. Note that the 'exit' command inside the shell will tell the PulseAudio daemon itself to shutdown!

       If any arguments are passed on the command line, they will be passed into the live shell which will process the command and exit.
