No. It also affects which bits CVSup pays attention to when it is
determining whether the two files are the "same". I.e., CVSup looks
at the umask and does something with it.
Again, it _does_ work. Watch this. First I will get some files
under a umask of 22:
vashon$ umask 22
vashon$ cvsup -1gL2 -P m -i src/bin/cat supfile
Parsing supfile "supfile"

And they come out with modes like you're getting:
vashon$ ls -lRF src
total 1
drwxr-xr-x 3 jdp jdp 512 Oct 20 18:14 bin/
src/bin:
total 1
drwxr-xr-x 2 jdp jdp 512 Oct 20 18:14 cat/
src/bin/cat:

-r--r--r-- 1 jdp jdp 12201 Oct 15 23:06 cat.c,v
Now I change my umask to 2 and do another update:
vashon$ umask 2
vashon$ cvsup -1gL2 -P m -i src/bin/cat supfile
Parsing supfile "supfile"

And now the files have the modes that you desire:
vashon$ ls -lRF src
total 1
drwxrwxr-x 3 jdp jdp 512 Oct 20 18:14 bin/
src/bin:
total 1
drwxrwxr-x 2 jdp jdp 512 Oct 20 18:14 cat/
src/bin/cat:

-r--r--r-- 1 jdp jdp 1651 Oct 15 23:06 Makefile,v

-r--r--r-- 1 jdp jdp 12201 Oct 15 23:06 cat.c,v
Just for good measure, I do yet another update, still with a umask
of 2:
vashon$ cvsup -1gL2 -P m -i src/bin/cat supfile
Parsing supfile "supfile"

Surprise surprise, no "SetAttrs".
Please try it like that, and see if it works. If it doesn't, then
send me your cvsupfile as well as the output from "cvsup -v". Don't
worry, we'll get to the bottom of this.
