Question Default read/write/execute permissions

I am perplexed that my script execution is not always consistent in creating new files. Specifically, my group read/write/execute permissions. For instance, take a look at the following:

Code:
-rw-rw----   1 jg   dp  18648 Aug 22 10:06 nx081508.txt
-rw-rw----   1 jg   dp  22422 Aug 22 10:06 nx081808.txt
-rw-rw----   1 jg   dp   6993 Aug 22 10:06 nx081908.txt
-rw-rw----   1 jg   dp  25308 Aug 22 10:06 nx082008.txt
-rw-rw----   1 jg   dp  15873 Aug 22 10:06 nx082108.txt
-rw-rw----   1 jg   dp  95319 Aug 22 10:06 nx082208.all
-rw-r-----   1 jg   dp  88911 Aug 22 10:06 nx082208.txt
-rw-rw----   1 jg   dp  94518 Aug 22 10:06 nx082208.uid

One of my .txt files does not have group 'w' access. And this can become a problem is another user needs to do something with that file.

I know, I could have my script do a chmod to the *.txt files after it is done, but that seems silly.

So, any idea where this might be set such that users sometimes set correctly and sometimes not?
