I'm experiencing a similar problem (see my post at 
http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2010-August/157775.html). Could you 
please try the following:

- set your "create mask" and "force create mode" both to 664; this 
should result in 664 for all new files (the first removes all bits that 
are not in 664, and the latter adds all bits still missing to 664)
- create a text file on your share; according to your statement the 
permissions should be different from 664
- in windows, open the security settings for that file and change 
something, e.g. give the group full access; if it's the same issue as 
mine, it shouldn't really matter what you change
- confirm and close the security settings
- now look at the permissions on your linux machine; do they fit your 
presets now?

With best regards,
Alex
