Thanks guys,
I guess there is no real way to set default
permissions in a shared folder for new folders and files (apart from using
samba as matt suggested). Is that right?

Yes, this is intended behaviour - the umask() syscall, the heart of
the umask command only operates per process. So, your shell in your
terminal has changed umask, but Nautilus, being a separate process,
has it's own umask, which is unchanged.
