This is normal and correct.

The meta data (permissions, ownership, mtime etc) are stored in a
seperate file (the attrib file, one per directory).  It can't be
stored with the file (as on the client) because of pooling, and also
some meta data values (eg: owned by root, or a block or character
special file) can't be created unless you are root.

For security reasons files are stored using $Conf{UmaskMode},
which by default disables world read/write permissions.

If you browse the directory using the web interface you should
see the right permissions.

  
The web interface shows the folder as 0750 as well
