*sigh* There's no easy way.  If it's an smb-mounted directory from a
Samba server you can use appropriate settings on the server to force
the permissions.  Otherwise you can do something similar using Posix
ACLs -- but I haven't got around to playing with those because for my
purposes I can get away with having all accesses to the shared
directory go through Samba.

Use chmod? :-P

Dunno, I can't make head or tail of the logs.

Perhaps you need to specify the password in KDE?  (The password to use
for connecting to SMB shares is hidden somewhere in Control Centre.)
