Well, your umask is probably the cause of the 755 creation perms.
Though I think you may want to look into your smb.conf a bit more, there
are more permissions-related directives than just "force create mode".
Taken from the smb.conf(5) man page (on debian sid):
Following this Samba will bit-wise 'OR' the UNIX mode created from this
parameter with the value of the force create mode parameter which is
set to 000 by default.
This parameter does not affect directory modes. See the parameter
directory mode for details.
See also the force create mode parameter for forcing particular mode
bits to be set on created files. See also the directory mode parameter
for masking mode bits on created directories. See also the inherit
permissions parameter."
