create mode with smbclient

[Frances Webb]

Thanks, but you have it wrong.

My umask is 007 and files are created with the correct permissions. 
Smbclient is restricting group write permissions when I download files from 
Windows shares - no doubt for reasons of its own.

(I am running RedHat 7.1, and trying to get the user-private group scheme 
to work for us consistantly, which is only effective if various programs 
play ball and allow full group permissions.)
