Be careful with this option, because when you edit a file some
applications (Microsoft Office Suite is the perfect example) create a
new temporary copy of that file, then when you save your work, the
original file is deleted, and the temporary one is renamed to the
original name.
With this option set, the save process fail when the application try
to delete the original file.

Perhaps through the use of the sticky bit on the directory...
from 'man chmod':
"STICKY DIRECTORIES
When the sticky bit is set on a directory, files in that directory may
be unlinked or renamed only by root or their owner. Without the sticky
bit, anyone able to write to the directory can delete or rename files. The
sticky bit is commonly found on directories, such as /tmp, that are
world-writable."
Look at using something like
create mask = 0664
force directory mode = 01775
in your smb.conf file.
HTH,
Tim
