You can force a group and permissions in smbd directly, regardless of what any client requests.

You probably want something like this in the share permissions:
	create mask = 0775
	directory mask = 0775
those masks are AND’d onto whatever permissions would otherwise be set. I believe the default is 0744, which could easily create the problem you’re seeing.

If that’s not enough you can use the more forceful:
	force group = foo
	force create mode = 0775
	force directory mode = 0775
which is OR’d onto whatever permissions would otherwise be set. This will force all files and folders to be group writable at creation no matter what.

Samba also supports a number of inherit modes (for ACLs, owner, permissions, etc.) that might be useful.
