I had to do something similar so I did it this way:

added the following lines to the share specification

    force group = www-creator
    force user = www-user

[I've changed the names of the group and user just-in-case]

Then I added the users I wanted to be able to put/modify/etc files to 
that group so that they'd have full access rights and set the create 
mask and directory mask to 0755.

It took me a long time searching google to find those options too.

It might not be what you want, but it's an option to try.

Good luck.

Sandra.
