Use the following in your smb.conf for the specific share of the group:
    create mask = 0770
    force group = your_group_name

For more powerful options on this issue have a look at the following options in the man pages:
    force create mode
    force directory mode

This is achieved by the 'create mask' and 'force group' options as mentioned above.
If users not in the group should have specific rights you have to set some different 'create mask'. For example 0774 or whatever you need.
