Hi, I've just today started to use cowdancer, and run into exactly the same problem. I don't use anything like svn-buildpackage or so, just getting my initial pbuilder setup right and now try to move forward to cowbuilder.
I had umask 007, and was able to build a package with umask 022. I suggest that this requirement at lest be documented in the man page.
