The problem is due to your Force create mode and create mask setting
overriding the map archive.

'map archive = yes' uses the owners 'x' bit 'rwxrwxrwx'
to track if the archive bit is on or off.

if you do not use force create mode the archive bit will work.

try using force group and write list for permission control
