Try adding 'users' to your fstab arguments: 'noauto,rw,users' .... You 
might also check the permissions of the share mount-point on the host 
machine, w/ the share unmounted, that can give issues as well. I don't 
have a good sol'n for the latter problem, since I have the same non-root 
user on all boxen on my soho LAN, but I know it can be worked around 
.... $0.02, no more, no less ....
