Use the following in your smb.conf for the specific share of the group:
create mask = 0770
force group = your_group_name
For more powerful options on this issue have a look at the following options in
the man pages:
force create mode
force directory mode

This is achieved by the 'create mask' and 'force group' options
as mentioned above.
If users not in the group should have specific rights you have to set some
different 'create mask'. For example 0774 or whatever you need.
