"dont descend"  affects the share regardless of who connects to it. To 
create different views for different users would require creating 
several shares with different "dont descend" values.

I think unix permissions would be the obvious solution. Create groups 
called g1 and g2, add u1 to both groups, u2 to g1 and  u3 to g2. Then 
chown root.g1 mrt1 , chown root.g2 mrt2  and chmod them both to 770 (or 
750). If you want more flexibility, you can use ACLs (assuming your FS 
and OS support them).
