My guess is this is related to the Unix extensions. Basically certain versions of OS X; I can't remember which ones but 10.5 sticks in my mind but that might be related to symbolic links and it was 10.6 that was the problem, notice the file server does Unix extensions and then decides to go behind the Samba servers back and fiddle with the permissions.
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.
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.
