What you're doing with X is a very bad idea. The value of $yourfolder will be subject to field splitting and pathname expansion after the unquoted expansion of $X. This could cause testing of an unintended pathname, or a syntax error in the resulting test/[ command.

On file "test"
wolf% chmod 4777 test

When I create a directory under /tmp (tmp/xx) it gets created as 755
