Well, I may be wrong, but probably your problem may be in the way you
are setting umask, or, more exactly that you set it incorrectly.

In Unix umask is process property, it usually inherited from parent
process and can be modified with umask system call. In usual setup,
nautilus and gnome-session are invoked directly from the gdm, bypassing
.bash_profile. So if you haven't set umask in .xinitrc, than nautilus
process will have default value.

Try the following:

1. start terminal
2. gnome-session-remove nautilus
3. umask 0002
4. nautilus to start it from terminal
5. check that umask is respected.
