Ah, and therein lay the problem. :)

I *believe* that mode 6000 (this is SunOS 4.1.4, btw) means that files
created in the directory take the umask of the directory, rather than
of the person/process creating the file. At least, this was roughly the
behavior I observed, and it solved a problem of the archive2.pl program
not being allowed to create the archive files despite the archive dir
being 775 and owned by majordom.majordom.
YMMV.
