[Samba] Write permissions on share for music files

I am running Fedora Core4 with Samba 3.0.14a-2 SELinux
and firewall.

Home directories are working fine from windows2000
machine but I am struggling with access permissions on
an intended public folder(Music). I really want
everyone to have read/write access to the directory
and all subdirectories but cannot get it to work. I
have tried various permissions on the directory itself
including setting userid and group both to atomlin,
0777, sticky on and off. In my smb.conf file (see
below) I have tried various options none of which
worked. The directory itself was originally created by
root. I have verified that when logged in to the linux
box as atomlin I can create and delete directories so
linux filesystem permissions seem ok, I just cannot do
it through samba. I am sure I am just doing something
stupid, and if someone can point it out I can get my
music box up and running (slimserver with squeezebox2)

eg
[Music-example1]
	path = /usr/Music
	writeable = yes
	guest ok = yes
	comment = Flac music files
	browseable = yes
[Music-example2]
	path = /usr/Music
	writeable = yes
	guest ok = yes
        public = yes
	comment = Flac music files
	browseable = yes


Current smb.conf-----------------
[global]
	workgroup = Home
	server string = Samba Server
	hosts allow = 192.168. 127.
	printcap name = /etc/printcap
	load printers = yes
	cups options = raw
	log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
	max log size = 50
	socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192
SO_SNDBUF=8192
	interfaces = eth1
	domain master = yes
	preferred master = yes
	dns proxy = no
#============================ Share Definitions
==============================
	idmap uid = 16777216-33554431
	idmap gid = 16777216-33554431
	template shell = /bin/false
	winbind use default domain = no
	username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
[homes]
	comment = Home Directories
	browseable = no
	writeable = yes
[printers]
	comment = All Printers
	path = /var/spool/samba
	browseable = no
	printable = yes
[Music]
	path = /usr/Music
	writeable = yes
;	guest ok = yes
	comment = Flac music files
	browseable = yes
	force user = atomlin
	force group = atomlin
	create mask = 0777
