We had the same problem here, ON RH, its to do with your /etc/profile and 
it not liking spaces in the users & groups (this might not be youre 
problem, but this was ours).

Anyway Ive edited the folowing in my /etc/profile:
basically its the addition of the backticks on the if line..

if [ "`id -gn`" = "`id -un`" -a `id -u` -gt 14 ]; then
         umask 002
else
         umask 022
fi

Hope that helps

Mark
