Did you try passing dmask=0775 to smbmount? As I read the man page, that sounds like what you want, but I don't have a windows share handy to try it with. You may need fmask=0775 as well for the files to be writeable, as well as the directories. This is under RedHat 9. YMMV
Probably a mask of 000 would be rejected as invalid since the file(s) would be totally useless, but I'm just guessing. A *nix file always has exactly one owner.
