Did you log out and log back in before running the menu command?
Probably not. Here's why:

You set the umask in a session and it is valid for that session, so it
works. The app run from a menu is running in a different session - it
might be a sibling of a common grandparent session, but for these
purposes it's different. And it's umask is still whatever it was in the
old ~/.bash_profile

Restart gdm and log back in, it will work then.
