There seems to be more flexibility in the smb.conf file than there is 
with basic Linux file permissions.  Consider this example:

# The following two entries demonstrate how to share a directory so that two
# users can place files there that will be owned by the specific users. 
In this
# setup, the directory should be writable by both users and should have the
# sticky bit set on it to prevent abuse. Obviously this could be extended to
# as many users as required.

;   valid users = mary fred
;   public = no
;   writable = yes
;   printable = no
;   create mask = 0765
