Yes

I can see the logic to that.

I originally tried to set everything up by group on the Unix side.

Here is a possible fix for your situation. I am doing what I think it is
you
are trying to do and I have no problems with my samba share. Instead of
"force
user", I use "force group" and I just make sure that all the users I want
to
have read/write access to all the files on the share are members of that
group.
I have included the share from my smb.conf file below for your reference. I
think this will accomplish what you are trying to do and may get around
your
problem.
