no matter how many lists you ask or how many different ways you want to
keep asking the question, your problem is always Windows permissions are
blocking you. This is not a Linux question. If you don't have
permissions to mount a share or descend into a subdirectory, your
problem lies with Windows permissions.
Your first example demonstrates that it works. Your second example
demonstrates that a permissions issue from the Windows 'server' is
blocking you. There's no guarantee that even if you are the
administrator that you can access a share, folder or file. Windows has a
fairly sophisticated ACL system and you would probably be better served
learning it than asking so many lists the same questions.
