Are you sure you want %U/%G ? Theres a difference between %U/%G and
%u/%g !

"force user = %u" and "force group = %g" seem to be a null operations.

Why don't you try "force group = staff" and leave the force user away?

Anyway, there are some troubles with substition, ie. "force user = %S"
definitly does not work in 1.9.18p4 (already posted to samba-bugs).
