Yes, they do.  If they didn't, I wouldn't be able to do the chmod to 
make them group writable.

I figured that setting the default umask for the mythbackend process to 
0002 (instead of the default 0022) would fix it, but no luck 
(systemd-analyze dump shows umask=0002 but new recordings are still 
-rw-r--r--).  Is there a setting in the config somewhere?
