[Samba] File Permissions (Again)

Hello,

I am having a consistent, strange problem with file permissions when a file
is written to a Samba share. I have the create mask set to 0700 as well as
the directory mask.

When I write a file to the share the permissions actually end up
being  0770 (root is owner since i am an admin):
-rwxrwx---    1 root     mis             0 Mar 21 08:36 test

The same thing happens with an ordinary user. I am using Samba 2.2.3a. It
worked with 2.2.2 and the only thing that I have done to the filesystem is
add ACL support (according to the Docs, it will not screw up the UNIX
permission bits). There is no unusual umask being set for the directory.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help

here is part of my smb.conf file:
