I'm having this same issue. I've tried tons of variants using create mask security mask directory mask force [the above]
I've tried placing them only in my [global] sections, in each of my shares and in both. Regardless, I get the same result. I can get create mask to create files with fewer perms, but the best I can get is 7 for user, 5 for group and read for everyone. I'm trying to set up a samba server for use with my team at work, but I need the group perms working for it to be worth switching off of our Windows server for this.
