Hi Torsten,

Thank you for your patch :o)

The reported problem is mainly caused by uneven dealing with umask by
GnomeVFS - respecting its settings for local connections and completely
ignoring it for remotes. IMHO as a workaround, it'd be the best to apply
777 + umask adjusts when mkdir.

I'm attaching two patches - respectively for 1.2.8 and master branch.
Please test if it works for you.
