Dont know exactly what you are trying to do here but you want to 'chmod 777 /path' and not 'umask'.
The other option is to modify '/etc/fstab' and that would be better. The settings in '/etc/fstab' are persistant across reboots.
Hope this helps.

yeah, would be helpful to know what are you trying to achieve.
