This seems to work:

# grep groupshare /etc/passwd
groupshare:x:999:999::/home/groupshare:/bin/false

# grep groupshare /etc/group
groupshare:x:999:

# ls -ld /mnt/z/groupshare/
drwxrwxrwx 3 groupshare groupshare 4096 Sep 16 12:24 /mnt/z/groupshare/

# grep -A 99 groupshare /etc/samba/smb.conf
[groupshare]
	path = /mnt/z/groupshare
	force user = groupshare
	read only = No
	create mask = 0777
	force create mode = 0666
	force security mode = 0666
	directory mask = 0777
	force directory mode = 0777
	force directory security mode = 0777
	force unknown acl user = Yes


HTH,
