Since you cannot change the default umask which is the cause of your issue, you are doomed...
Now my 2 cents:
What is the point of such a restrictive umask if the directories are 777?
For instance you are letting anyone the possibility to remove the file(s)...
Why not use a already quite restrictive 027 which lets your conveniently set a 750 on the directory (could add an +s on group, better...) and decide who has access to the group (which would be read only...) OK this does not solve your execute perm... I blame your tools for that...
