If you want the CIFS permissions to be set correctly, use the Samba/CIFS

I don't know if I'm doing it correct. I'm using a bash script to help
user mount the CIFS share like this:
sudo mount.cifs //fileserver/management/ ${HOME}/fileserver/management
-o user=${USER},password=$userPass,uid=$UID,rw,mand
Could you give me an example on using Samba/CIFS tools?
That line mounts the share using the credentials you gave it but that
doesn't set the permissions. If you right-click on the share's folder,
you should be able to set the CIFS permissions.
Your example shows you setting the group to managegroup but your
smb.conf forces the group to management. Which is it?
my typo. I want make clear so I change the group name to managegroup.
The actual group name it the same "managment" which I think may cause
confusion when I post my question. Sorry.

So is your user a member of management? Rather than forcing the group to
management, you could just add members to the group.
Also, when you set the Unix ownership and permissions too tightly, you
may prevent Samba from accessing the share properly. Since the share
directories and files are to be accessed only through CIFS/Samba, the
Unix permissions can and should be very loose. My shares all have Unix
permissions with everyone having rwx access.
The last line in your server commands I believe should be chmod, not
chowm.

Hi, All,
I'm having a problem with my samba server(v3.6.9) setup. I have a
share on the server:
#cd /
#mkdir managment
#chown -R root:managegroup management
#chowm -R 2770 management
When I test this I found out:
the managegroup member can create new file/dir with the correct
permission: -rwxrws--- or drwxrws---
BUT, when the client copy a file or dir to the share from his local
drive, then some file/dir will have different the permission when it
coiped to the Samba share. (for example, drwxrwxr-x)
We have both Windows and Ubuntu client. Ubuntu client use cifs.mount
to access the Samba share.
Here is my smb.conf file. Please help me. All I want is when and file
and/or dir end up on the samba share, it should have 770 permission.
Thanks.
