I have nearly the same problem. But, sorry, i don't have real solution for 
this. I try to set the permissions with the unix rights. In addition to 
"create mask" and "directory mask" i use the sticky bits to realize my 
permission structure. It's sad to say, but i think, that this is a real big 
disadvantage of Samba. If you try to set a complex permission structure, 
it's a very difficult work. With Windows or especially Novell it's much 
more easier, i think.
