Shouldn't that be 'umask 077' if you want to block all of the group and world
permission bits?  A mask of "066" will still allow the creation of files
with a permission of "rwx--x--x"

Also, having a "077" umask won't guarantee that all files are created as
rwx------, but will make sure that the "owner" bits are set as requested
and that all other bits are not set. so, you could get
        r--------   ---------
        rw-------   -w-------
        r-x------   --x------
        rwx------   -wx------
depending upon which bits are set by the requesting by the program, but
nothing in the last six places.
