umask in the shell startup scriptage only affects files created in the shell, not cocoa or carbon apps.

Correct! This is what I was having issues with. If my umask was set in the .cshrc file and I opened an application from the terminal it would work fine, but I needed it to work when opening applications from the finder (or window manager :))
