Mounting SMB shares without root

I tried this as well but I didn't have the same success.  I'm running SUSE 
7.3 w/ Samba 2.2.2 that I cofigured with the smbmount option.

Here is my command and my results:

jkonkol at suse:~> mount -t smbfs -o username=$ejwk //is1117/public 
/home/jkonkol/mnt/test
mount: only root can do that

I have chmod a+s both the /home/jkonkol/mnt and /home/jkonkol/mnt/test 
directories.

Anyone have any ideas ??

Thanks
