Ah, so here's the meat of it. I took a similar approach, but it still
seems hackish:

inotifywait -m -r /var/www/html/recordings -e create |
    while read path action file; do
        echo "The file '$file' appeared in directory '$path' via '$action'"
        chmod a+r "$path$file"
    done

This at least has the benefit of not waiting until the next minute to
do the chmod and only chmod'ing the new file (rather than all
recursively). I'd love a method that doesn't require a chmod after the
fact.
