One more thing - make sure you're in group 'staff' (=10) on your system.

Well, you certainly got enhanced security; even secure from yourself!

Perhaps the mount and/or automount man pages for the enhanced security
product should point this out.  I suggest you talk with Tony more about
this, if he's the right contact for that product...

I reported this to Tony Fiore.  It appears that the umask is changed
when installing Enhansed Security somehow.  Since I started from scratch
with a newly formatted disk it could not have been something from
a previous installation.
