Unfortunately, no.  We only share nfs files.

It happens every time without fail.

Here is a piece of my smb.conf:

[nt]
        path = /home/eng/NT
        writeable = yes
        force group = research
        create mask = 775
        force create mode = 0660

I just added the force create mode and tried this scenario again.  Still
got the same result.  Any more ideas??
