Directories should have +x permissions. Do a:

Hi Rafa, like a fool I sent that email and then worked this out shortly after :)
I'm glad you worked it out ;)
Still, if I hadn't your response was quick so I wouldn't have been waiting long. This leads me onto a new question though;
If user1 writes a file in folder1 will user2 be made the default group owner, is there a way of enforcing this and with the required privileges (r for files, rx for directories?).
Ownership doesn't change just by creating files. Ownership of a file is set to the user that creates that file, no matter where the file is. Obviously, root can change file ownership ... so treat him well ;)
In any case, try it out yourself. Create the files and see what happens ;)
User1 accesses folder1 over smb so I could set up a create mask but other folders accessed by users1 not via smb (ssh, rsync etc) I still want user2 to have read only access. Can you implement smb style create masks at a file system level?
Samba is a different story (but related), you can create masks, set default permissions, ...
I usually recommend O'Reilley's Samba book because it starts off with a very simple config and then complicates it little by little.
HTH
