Forget umask, you have to adjust the permissions of that _directory_
accordingly:
chmod 770 groupdir
and, as others already wrote, eventually set the SGID bit so that all files
within are owned by the group you want.
You can later add permissions for other users or groups by using ACLs, see man
pages of setfacl and getfacl.
