While the above 'solution' does allow me to write to the share, it of course disallows distinctly UNIX things like symlinks. From what I can see, there is no way to read/write these things without having the same UID/GID as the owner on the server. This drastically limits the utility of CIFS, and in some cases removes the whole point of it entirely.
