Have you tried to accomplish this by setting the permissions on the
unix filesystem? I mean samba will respect the posix rights on the
host filesystem unless you force otherwise in smb.conf. If you set the
correct permissions on unix and use hide unreadable in smb.conf I
believe you will get what you want.
