I have a weird problem…
I have a Windows Server with two shares: Users and Groups ; and many hidden shares (i.e. username$) which are under Users.
If I mount Groups, Users or most of the username$ shares no problem. But there are a few username$ shares (mine included) which when mounted the base directory is read-only. I am unable to create new documents or folders. However I am able to modify existing files or create/delete folder and file in any of the sub directories…
It should be noted that the shares work perfectly when mapped to from windows workstations. 
The fstab entry I am using is:
//opw-filer02/username$ /home/username/Documents cifs user=username,password=****,uid=username,gid=users,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0666,domain=work.com
I have also experimented with the options users,rw,exec,nosetuids,noperm,noacl,nocase,nobrl but nothing…
I have done chmod 777 /home/username/Documents
I have verified that all the windows permissions are identical on every home directory.
As far as I can tell, it just won’t work because it hates me…
I have tried the --verbose option with mount.cifs and it doesn’t give much additional information.
Is there something I’m missing? Some other place to look?
Everything is fine for nearly all 1000 user home directories (except for 6). If it was just me, I would just say OK, but it is rather embarrassing when I am pushing out Linux Desktops (to replace Windows XP) and two of my testers happen to have this problem…
Thanks
