One difference is that the 'cwilson' user has different UID's on the
local and remote system (1000 on local, 1002 on remote).  After adding
this line to my local /etc/passwd (ignore linewrapping):

csw_belg::1002:513:Charles Wilson on
Belgarion,S-1-5-21-144006512-467950226-1660491571-1002://belgarion/ehlana/Users/cwilson:/bin/bash

Now, at least, ls on the remote system shows 'csw_belg' as owner -- of
the NEW file -- instead of '1002'.  I notice that your (Corinna's)
username on your remote system is 'corinna' -- just as it is 'corinna'
on your local system -- is that because your UID is the same on both
systems?  Could that difference cause the disparity in our results? 
(Also, I notice that 'corinna' is a member of the 'root'
(Administrators?) group on the remote system).

$ cd //belgarion/Common
$ umask
002
$ id
uid=1000(cwilson) gid=513(None) groups=513(None)
