smbmount, problem with permissions

smbmout/smbfs are shares on a "per user" basis. You can set the 
permission (and the owner?) with options during the mount. But you 
will allways have one user and one permission. At least the user is a 
protocoll thing. 

There are only restricted situations where smb is usefull betwenn to 
Unix/linux systems. Use NFS: It's a mount on a "per host" basis and 
preserves owner, permissions, ...
