From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Try adding to the fstab options uid=#### with the #### replaced with the user id you are using. If you are using more users other options may be needed.
Edit: also check 'man mount.cifs' for other options.
Could it be set with a gid and with write permissions for the group, therefore giving users in that group write access?
Yes, that should work as well.
Thanks!
That unfortunately didn't work, but I really do appreciate your response.
I just had to add an entry for my uid and then "forceuid", and it worked!
