It sounds like you need to changet the file permission masks for the shate 
in samba. I'm not sure whot the defaut permissions are, but I expect it may 
be 0755 or similar. AFAIK the samba permission masks work the same way that 
umask does.

You may also want to play with the force group option if group ownership 
isn't being preserved.

HTH,
