I can't tell much either, but take this as a note:
create mask = what bits can be set by client at creation time.
security mask = what bits can be edited afterward.
create mode = default bits to be set.
force mode = bits that will be enforced on resulting mask.

I'll leave a live example from one of my live servers:

[D]
        comment = Projects
        path = /home/.shares/d
        force group = DomainUsers
        read only = No
        create mask = 0775
        force create mode = 0664
        security mask = 0775
        force security mode = 0664
        directory mask = 0775
        force directory mode = 0775
        directory security mask = 0775
        force directory security mode = 0775

What this does is the following:
It makes sure that directories and files inside are owned by DomainUsers group.
It makes sure that group have at least read and write access to the files.
It makes sure that group and guests have listing and traverse rights on directories.

Another point of note: from my memory, samba fakes ACLs to represent
permissions. This may include many strange things.
For example, most of that ^^ directory content has 0777 perms, but when I
look from Cygwin, it coming out more granular.
