I was able to reproduce it with a broken remote site that reports its
files have no permission at all.

Remote permissions are applied to local directories before its content
is downloaded. Thus local files could not be created.

Title:
  "sftp -r remotedir ." creates directories with wrong permissions

Status in “openssh” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The local directories created by 
     sftp -r remotedir .
  are unreadable by anybody, so when it tries to create anything in them, it fails.  Example:

  $ sftp -r user at host.com:foo foo
  user at host.com's password: 
  Connected to host.com.
  Fetching /foo/ to foo
  Retrieving /foo
  Retrieving /foo/www
  mkdir foo/www: Permission denied

  This is with Ubuntu 12.04, openssh-client       1:5.9p1-5ubuntu1

  This is the second time I've ever used sftp.
