Umaks is set in /etc/bashrc and is 022 by default for rhel systems.
What I suspect is that the owner of your directories has changed. What user does tftpd run as? By default tftpd runs as nobody, but if you specify the -u (for user) option in the server_args line of /etc/xinetd.d/tftpd you can set there perms on the directories and files to be 700 and 600 if everything is owned by the user given to the -u option for tftpd.
