[Samba] clearing and setting the archive bit causes permissions for
the owner group to change

I have Samba 3.0.26a in an openSUSE 10.3 machine.
I have set up a share like this:
path = /dati/paolo
valid users = paolo
read only = No
acl map full control = No
create mask = 0760
directory mask = 0770
nt acl support = No
map archive = Yes
If I access the share from a Windows 2000 client (logged as the owner of
/dati/paolo) and create a file, I found the permissions set according to
the "create mask" (-rwxrw----).
Then I change the permissions with the command
chmod g-w ...
and the permissions become -rwxr-----.
Finally, I clear the archive bit from the Windows client and the
permission become -rw-rw----.
Well, I didn't expect the write permission for the owner group to be
set. Is there something I am missing?
By the way, if I change the configuration of the share to
create mask = 0740
then clearing the archive bit from a Windows client doesn't set the
write permission for the owner group.
