Still can't write to a Win98 share! PLEASE HELP!

I've posted here with this problem before, and while several people DID try
to help, nothing seems to work!

Here's the situation (again):

I have a Linux box (Mandrake 7.0) running Samba (2.0.6) compiled from
source. I can mount/read/write the linux shares just fine, but when trying
to write to my Win98 shares (which mount perfectly), I get "permission
denied".

This only happens for standard users. As root, I can
read/write/execute/move/delete files with no problems whatsoever. As a
standard user, I can only read files on the Win98 mounted shares.

Yes, I'm mounting them with FULL permissions (on the Win98 side).

PLEASE HELP!

Here is a copy of my /etc/fstab, and a copy of my /etc/smb.conf if it
helps...
