The man page says that uid= and gid= are ignored by the cifs driver when connecting to a server that supports unix permissions. When you were testing, were you connecting to a windows or a *nix box? In my testing, I was trying to connect to a server running feisty, which does support the permissions and hence would ignore the uid= and gid= options. However, this is suboptimal and has caused much grief amongst users.
Also, if it's of any use, I've tried running the server as both security=user and security=share. There's no difference.
