CIFS client bug

[Eric Jarman]

The permissions on the NAS device come out correct when using the SMBFS
module, as well as when connecting from a windows client.
The "noperm" option is supposed to have the server handle all permissions,
the same as what I believe happens when using the SMBFS module.  Server
permissions are inherited correctly by files (the Object Inheritance flag in
NTFS), but not by directories (Container Inheritance flag).
