The masks on each share is :

browseable = yes
writeable = yes
create mask = 2770
security mask = 2770
directory mask = 2770
directory security mask = 2770

I've also performed a chmod -R 2770 on the entire share dir.

if I add 

force create mode = 2770
force directory mode = 2770

to each share the new files are created as 770. 

Is this nessesary? I thought the create masks would be sufficient.

Yes it is. From the smb.conf man page: 

         [The] resulting  UNIX  mode  is then bit-wise 'AND'ed with 

this parameter.

         This parameter may be thought of as a bit-wise  MASK  for  

the  UNIX

         modes of a file. **Any bit not set here will be removed from 

the modes

         set on a file when it is created.**

So the masks define which bits CAN be set, the force modes define which 

bits WILL be set.
