Chris and Dale,

Following Dales suggestion I have set sgid for all directiories in the
/opt/group/sales directory and below.  Now when a file is placed by
windows into this sales share the file has the right group permissions.
The file is still appearing as 0666 rather than 0660. What should I
try next?
