Sorry about the self-reply, I submitted and re-read your message:

Two things to note:

1) file permissions are set by 'umask' not 'unmask'.  I don't know if that
was a typo in your email not.

2) you will need to use 'gid=students' in conjunction with 'umask=002'.
Only putting gid will give you a read-only mode of 755 for the student
group, and only doing unmask=000 would do you nothing (see #1).  If you
only did umask=000, that would probably work, however it may not be what
you want.
