Got it!
It finally clicked in my mind that SunPCI is a process like any other process running in Solaris, so files it creates will take on the permissions of the user's umask. Duh. So I added umask 002 to the user's .profile, and that seems to have done the trick.
Thanks everyone for your help! I really appreciate it.

You're welcome.

Great!

I've never worked with workstation with a PC card in it running windows. I'm guessing though that there have got to be some services running on the Solaris side of things which start up and make the filesystems available to the Windows side of things. It's possible that the umask for this process is set either in the startup file of these processes (in either /etc/rc2.d or /etc/rc3.d) or in the startup files in the user's directory for when they fire up Windows on the box.
I'd poke around in these locations, grep'ing for 'umask' in the system startup scripts, and in the hidden (starting with a '.') files in users home directory.
Good luck!
