Group information lost when security = server

[Steve Francis]

force group = staff does not work either.

smbstatus shows the group correctly:
 ./smbstatus

Samba version 1.9.18p4
Service      uid      gid      pid     machine
----------------------------------------------
cslan        bmiller  staff    45176   stevef

But files are all created with the group of sys.

Not only that, but force group = "literal group" will not work for me anyway,
as I need to maintain file access differently for people in different groups
accessing the same share.

IS there a working solution for this when using security = server?
TIA
