I think the 'notme' user is the same UID as whoever owns the remote
share - so if you look in the remote smb.conf for the \\server\share
definition, see which directory it points to (say /some/share) then I'm
guessing you'll find that the 'notme' user (or the remote user with the
UID of 1002) is the owner of /some/share.
In order to get around this I think you have to mount with the noperm
option to disable permissions, and then I think you also have to disable
UNIX extensions for this to take effect.
Cheers,
Adam.
