Try out some of the mount options. Maybe you can pre-determine who is 
declared owner of the files.

For example, I used to mount a windows partition (NTFS) with root, where 
I entered the UID and GID to conform to my regular user.
Try this out for your file system and see if it works. For NTFS i added 
the option uid=1000,gid=1000.

The man page explains as follows:

"
Mount options for ntfs
<snip other doc options >
        uid=value, gid=value and umask=value
               Set the file permission on the filesystem.  The umask 
value is given in octal.  By default, the files are owned by root and 
not readable by somebody else.

"

Ofcourse you will probably be using smbmount. Havent got it installed, 
but you can look it up on your own system. Hope this helps.
