Thank you for your response, Mark. My apologies for the delay in
response, we are also transitioning clusters at this time.

I thought it may be related to the spawning of new shells in an SGE
environment such that the user set umask might be lost.

Sure, I've attached a script file that provides the output of a fsl
session I ran. I also displayed the pre and post umask values as well
as the permissions on the resulting feat output.

I checked these, we're seeing the behavior across all users. We never
had issues before, but I configured our old server to use ACL's that
would override any niggling permission problems.

I'll do my best. :)

NFS, the attached script show's the full output, but here's the
specific folder permissions for all directories from current then up
to root (/)
login4:/u/home9/FMRI/mscohen/data/jkyle {1002}$ ls -ld .

Thank you for your efforts on this.
