That shouldn't happen.  Unless your home dir is on FAT or FAT32
and you're using the wrong umask.  For a start, can you try this:

Login as user smmsp twice, once with admin privs, once without.
Each time, run the following command:

  $ strace -o stat.trace stat <your home dir>

And send the output of stat, as well as the two generated trace files
here.  This might give us a clue.
