Ah,, thats all..

You must have matching usernames AND passwords AND UID/GIDS on both devices at least.. 
And LDAP/AD-DC helps here on that part. 

>From the server, I create a mount through the following command:
$ sudo mount.cifs //diskstation/usr /mnt -ouser=master,multiuser,setuids,idsfromsid

I'll assume ..  Mounting /usr ? /mnt

This is the user home //diskstation/usr  ( and better use //FQ.DN.diskstation/usr ) 
/mnt/folder, better dont mess with the first folders /mnt 
always create a new folder there and use that one.

I personaly dont use mount.cifs. 
So i cant tell much on that but i have seen very nice example here on the samba list.
