Try umask (0) before opening the file.

 -- Built-in Function:  umask (MASK)
     Set the permission mask for file creation.  The parameter MASK is
     an integer, interpreted as an octal number.  If successful,
     returns the previous value of the mask (as an integer to be
     interpreted as an octal number); otherwise an error message is

Or, you can set your umask before running Octave.  See the man page
for umask for more details.
