Just a couple ideas...
1. Make sure you can read and write to the directory as a normal user when
you log in locally. If you can't then you need to check your perms again.
2. In fstab try just using Defaults instead of rw, (etc) (probably won't do
any good... but i know mine works with this.)
3. for the smb stuff... make sure you have the ability to authenticate a
user. Most peer to peer setups use share level access rather than user
level.
