If writes to that directory still fail when maximal permissions are granted to local acces: mount.cifs //server/share/media/h/ -o user=user1,domain=dmn,uid=user1,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 or even disable permission checking on the client: mount.cifs //server/share/media/h/ -o user=user1,domain=dmn,uid=user1,noperm If those fail, then the issue is the permissions (access control) set on the server directory for that user, not client permissions. Be careful about not leaving spaces between the comma separated items in the mount option list (after -o separate parameters with commas).
