629516 2008-01-12 20:42:00 Hmmm, I just use:
mount -t smbfs -o username=username //user/"My Documents" /mnt/dir

Seems to work fine for me (but then I never really mounted with user privileges, always as root)

I probably didn't make it clear that Root has read and write access to the share, but my "standard" user account can only read. Any idea what might be going on? I have tried CHMODing the mount, but it hasn't made any difference.
