Rather than modifying the string values in the metadata, shouldn't we
retain compatibility by letting the umask *string* stored in the flag use
the old format and if needed convert it when we convert the string to a
number to pass to the appropriate os functions? Or was this just a sed gone
wild, since these are string values, not python source octal syntax?
