After bit more investigating, looks like group staff is not working.
And in logfile I found this:

[2011/10/06 15:05:30.246626,  3] lib/util_sid.c:228(string_to_sid)
  string_to_sid: Sid @staff does not start with 'S-'.

Apparently this @staff comes from valid users or write list on smb.conf,
but why on earth samba expects to see SID there?
