Comment(by AlbertCahalan):

 Replying to [ticket:4770 bert]:
 > umask under rainbow is 0022 as is standard on Linux. IMHO it should be
 0002 so by default the group (that is, all instances of one activity) can
 read what was written.

 You mean write, don't you?

 Based on that umask, the group can already read what was written.

 777 (rwxrwxrwx) becomes 755 (rwxr-xr-x)

 666 (rw-rw-rw-) becomes 644 (rw-r--r--)

 Perhaps you're trying to open the file in a way that requires writing.
