Verify the "umask" effective for your "sudo" user, i.e.

       sudo bash
       umask

Should the "umask" result end in "7",
then this may be responsible for the permissions you observe.

On POSIX systems, the "umask" setting effects the permissions of newly
created directories and files.

Use "umask 0002" to change this setting temporarily.
