//fineales/mp3s       /mnt/mp3       smb     uid=ant,guest 0 0

[ant@ant etc]$ ls -ald /mnt/mp3/
drwxr-xr-x    1 ant      root         4096 Mar 30 03:42 /mnt/mp3/

Works for me, although guest access, and mounting with owner of ant on

depending on what arguments you use you can cause this and yet you dont
