I dimly remember we had a thread on a similar issue a while back, but I
can't find it right now... Anyway, the solution was to put a zero in
front of the octal value, i.e. umask=0227 -- apparently, filesystem
types differ in how they handle options.
BTW, that's always a good default strategy, if something is weird with
permissions... :)
