This is fine.

However, this will also change permissions on the directory, as well.
Here is what I will be adding to the script for next release:
chown -R root:root $work_dir
find $work_dir -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0644
This will will place root ownership on all file and directories, and by
using find, set perms of "-rw-r--r--" on files only.
