What is your fstab line?

Mine is:

//smb.prism.gatech.edu/mflaschen3	/home/matthew/prism	cifs
username=mflaschen3,noperm	0	0

Try adding noperm.  noperm says the client won't attempt to enforce
permissions (though the server still will).  Also, make sure you have
local permissions (perhaps exclusive) for the mountpoint.  E.g.:

drwx------ 2 matthew matthew 4096 2007-04-05 02:46 /home/matthew/prism

I still need to be root to mount it, but only my username (matthew) has
access to the mountpoint.
