s{u,g}id only affects ownerships, not permissions - those two are
orthogonal in this case.  As you note below, umask is what he wants, in
addition to sgid directories.

{force,} group, {force,} mode, {force,} directory mode are all very
helpful here.  You can also use a user = @group for the share.
