Solved! A normal user bust own the mount point to be able to mount cifs shares, even if mount.cifs is setuid. See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=403700 for details IMHO if a share is defined as user mountable in fstab it should be mounted despite the owner of the mount point (given write permission on the mount point, of course). In any case the error message is misleading. HTH
