	You don't say what kernel version you are running.  If you are
running a 2.0.x kernel, this information is not going to be totally
accurate (since the smbmount syntax is different).

	Add the -d {dir_perms} to the -c "mount {mount_point}" command.

	Example:

	smbmount //server/share PASSWORD -U USER -c "mount /mnt/winnt -d 755"

	A similar option exists for the old smbmount.
