  you may have settings happening via /etc/fstab
and/or udev (and i'm not an expert at udev that is
for sure).

  that said...

  if you have umask set it will override plain
mode settings.  usually there is a umask setting
in .bashrc (or whatever your shell rc is in
either your home directory and/or the /etc
directory).

  to remove x from all even with a umask use:

$ chmod a-x PIIS0006349512003256.pdf
