Oh, sorry, you're createsing new files, so there's no before/after.  In
that case the result in the group permission is based on the MASK value
generated as a result of permission inhertance rules.  So what you
should check is the parent descriptor and look at the inheritable ACEs
(default ACL entries in POSIX speak) and compare them with the
permissions Xof the newly created files.
