The umask was wanting a mask, while the configuration file (for end-user 
sanity) wants a mode instead. So I figured it was best to simply stick
with mode throughout the code, and simply invert it when passing into
umask at time of use. 

I added this to CVS & along with the updated docs on the 3 new configuration
parameters for the daemon.
