BTW, you don't need a cron job to do that since samba can manage this
for you every time a file or directory is created.

Have a look at "force create  mode" and "force directory mode" in smb.conf(5).

Setting

force directory mode  = 0020
force create mode = 0020

im smb.conf will ensure that any files/directories created will be
group-writable.
