the default is 022  with what you have set directories will not be accesable 
to people uing the other permissions

on a default setup home dirs are created with 700 so only the user can enter 
and all the files inside are not accesable by anyone. with user groups even if 
the directory is group readable and writeable no one will be able to access it 
but the user.  im assuming that you have some users sharing a group and want 
them to share data.  your probably best going for a umask of 002 unless you 
really want to make sure that other cant access anything in which id use 007  
anyway it a bit hard to say how best to do it without any context.
