No. The sticky bit is 01000 so you need the extra 7
to make sure it isn't masked.

This is working here, don't know why not in your case.

I don't think it is.

ls -ld /tmp/myshare

drwsrwsr-t 3 nobody eng 4096 Aug 19 11:19 /tmp/myshare

smb.conf stanza:

[tmpperms]
        path = /tmp/myshare
        read only = no
        inherit owner = yes
        inherit permissions = yes
        directory mask = 07775

I connect with smbclient and do "mkdir foo" and I get :

ls -ld /tmp/myshare/foo/

drwxrwsr-t 2 nobody eng 4096 Aug 19 11:19 /tmp/myshare/foo/
