Please try to give the information we ask for.  The output of the "mount"
command please.

This is not important.  The point is what the permissions are when it _is_
mounted.

Please give us the output of the command 
	ls -l /media/x/
having mounted the share with 
	
//citserver/shared /media/x cifs rw,uid=root,gid=users,mode=0770,dir_mode=0770 0 0

Are you sure the windows share is writable when you are not authenticated
to citserver?  If you have a username and password on that machine you
might add username=xxx,password=yyy to the options above and see does it
make a difference.

I don't think you should need any packages to mount a simple windows file
share.  You should just need the cifs.ko which is part of the default
kernel.
