Question 2: Try the following:

I use this to fix permissions on a Samba box - you will have to modify or drop the chown line to leave the ownership properties alone.
Why not adding a special group to your /etc/group or setting a default mask in your smb.conf ? That's what these programs, files are for.. That would eliminate the need of your script.. And is one cronjob less.. One process less, memory less, cpu cycles less.. etc..

Sorry - one bit of info I left out. The same filesystem is also exported via NFS.
I don't control all the *nix boxes that connect to it, and the Slackware / Solaris / Red Hat mix makes for some... err... interesting file permission issues. UID's don't matter (it's a media repository), and I only run this after some mistake was made on the *nix side (i. e. ripping a CD as root, changing out of group users and copying files on the server, etc.). Samba tends to be pretty well-behaved. It's the NFS stuff that causes problems.
