If someone along the way has set your umask to 0222 or similar (such
as 0200), that would produce this result. If it's in the environment,
your shell can tell you, otherwise strace would be able to show you
the corresponding system call:
DESCRIPTION
mkdir() creates a new directory named by the path name
pointed to by path. The mode of the new directory is ini-
tialized from mode (see chmod(2) for values of mode). The
protection part of the mode argument is modified by the
process's file creation mask (see umask(2)).
