Well, as you know, we went through this in some detail yesterday.  Of
course, I didn't think to change my umask (in fact, I was paying more
attention to the change of user and group that you had led me to
expect).  In any case, you're right: if you have a non-0 umask (which
I don't), it will be applied to all the permissions unless you supply
the -p option.  Thanks for fighting this one through.
