I think if I understand you right, this is pretty simple then.

You're using CentOS but you jumped the package shark and installed
3.2.x? Assuming that is working like it's supposed to work...

Share - let's call it MasterShare

[MasterShare]
        comment = My MasterShare Share
        path = /var/sambashares/mastershare
        guest ok = no
        writable = yes
        write list = @mastershare
        read list = @mastershareread
        inherit permissions = yes
        store dos attributes = yes

chgroup mastershare /var/sambashares/mastershare
chmod g+w,g+s /var/www/mastershare

I'm not really sure that anything else is required.

I don't usually put 'user' files in /var and thus have no real
experience with troubleshooting selinux for that
