for your aim you only need the stick-bit on the directory with the 
files you want in it. On a file the sticky-bit means "leave the 
executable in memory after usage"

You mean new directores are not created with the sticky-bit. But if 
you set it manualy, files in the directory can only be deleted by the 
owner?

try what happens it you set "inherit permissions" in smb.conf to yes. 
The sgid-bit is only respected with this (since 2.0.7)
