David,

Two things you need.  Sticky bits and directory masks.  Set the sticky 
bit on the filesystem so they like this:

drwsrws---  21 root Accounting            2040 Jan 25 09:03 Accounting

Then create a mask on the share like this:

[Accounting]
   comment = Accounting
   path = /departments/Accounting
   create mask = 0770
   force directory mode = 0770
   read only = No

New files should have the group privs and the owner will be the one who 
created the file.
