Hmm.. Well I switched to 'security = user' and created an account,
made a new share that looks exactly like yours, made the directory
permissions match yours (except my group name is different), and
created the dir with smbclient and the authenticated samba user, but
no joy.

Still the owner of the new dir is that of the creating user, not the
parent directory.

This is starting to feel like a bug. Or some simple setting (or
default) that I am missing.
I will have wait until tonight to look at it more.
