Couple things:

a) `darcs --set-scripts-executable` is an option that must be supplied
to Darcs when you *do* a get.  You can cause this to be the default
behaviour of Darcs for you if you add

get     --set-scripts-executable

to ~/.darcs/defaults [why this isn't just the default behaviour of Darcs
is beyond me - setting something executable is a lot different than
*running* it, sigh]

b) There was a bug in darcs 1.0.2 regarding this: while this option
worked correctly for local gets, it didn't work when doing a remote get.
This appears to be fixed in 1.0.3
