Hi, this sound like the Problem which exists for office files too,
the workaround should be allow users/group to change the wanted files
via  force parameters to the share
force create mode = 0660
force directory mode = 0770

i hope this helps you around,
but your question should be answered by the smb coders too, cause i cant 
remember to some "how to" for this function
Regards
