There are plenty of options for smbmount (which is what "mount -t 
smbfs" is). Type "smbmount --help", and it'll give you all the details. 
Specifically, you want the "uid" and / or "gid" parameters to be your 
user id, and some group id if you want multiple people to be able to 
write to the share. "fmask" and "dmask" may also be useful to set file 
permissions on files and directories on the mount, and potentially want 
the "rw" option to specify read/write permissions.

Regards,
Nathan.
