I made it a run time option that applied across all mounts.  Making it a 
mount option might be better, but of course would still hit the same 
confusion that other "smb session" and "tree connection" specific mount 
options would have when you try to map them to multiple mounts to the 
same share or multiple mounts to the same server.
