Samba ver 3.3.4

I  am seeing odd behavior when writing files to a share with an OSX client.
No matter what changes I make in my smb.conf file the files written 
by OSX  do not match those written by a winxp client, example below:


drwxr-sr-x   2 test     ldaptest     512 Jun 10 16:48 Mac-folder
drwxrws---   2 test     ldaptest     512 Jun 10 16:45 PC-folder
-rw-r--r--   1 test     ldaptest     616 Apr 30 09:35 mac-doc
-rwxrw----   1 test     ldaptest       0 Jun 10 16:45 pc-doc


I am not seeing the same behavior on a 2.x ver of Samba so I am 
assuming that there is something different between the two Samba 
versions and or I am missing something basic ?


[test2dir]
     comment = test2
     path = "/data/test2"
     browseable = yes
     public = no
     printable = no
     writable = yes
     read only = no
     force group = ldaptest
     create mode = 0770
     directory mode= 0770
     force create mode = 0777
     valid users = test
