My guess is this is related to the Unix extensions. Basically certain

decides to go behind the Samba servers back and fiddle with the

Indeed. Unfortunately (in this case) we had already disabled unix
extensions a while back when 10.6.8/10.7 came out and we started seeing
similar permission issues. I'm surprized that "force security mode"
wouldn't work. That actually sounds like a bug if that's the case. I
don't believe I ever actually tested it myself but we did pin that as
another possible solution at that time.
Hum, if Unix extensions are off, then I would try either putting some
default POSIX ACL's on the folders or better still make sure the file
system is mounted with extended attributes and use the acl_xattr module
to do Windows ACL's and see if you cannot fix it that way.
This seems to be a different but similar issue on some new machines with
10.8. I'm not yet sure if it's an OS issue or a application issue. So
far, I've only seen it when a user 'packages' a project from Adobe
InDesign. Many of the extra files in the 'package' (just a folder, not
an archive or anything) end up without group permissions which is a big
issue for them.
My suggestion is to turn the debug level right up on your test setup and
then trawl through it till you see exactly what is going on. It's time
consuming but it was how I tracked down the Unix extension issue on
Mac's issue and a similar wacky issue related to Office 2007/2010 and
mapping of DOS attributes.
