Hi Bill,

problem indeed.
Just suggestion/question - the NFS client running on SL 6.x is 
configured to use also NFSv4 protocol? Eg.

mount -t nfs -o vers=4 server:/data /tmp

btw i think Red Hat been solving something similar here:

'NFS client using NFSv4 ACLs loses the correct mask of a newly created 
file in subdirectories'

https://access.redhat.com/solutions/447803

unfortunately 'subscriber content' which i'm not, maybe you? :-)
