I'm not sure either; I just discovered the feature a week or so ago (I was 
working at home while sick), and I've been like a kid in a candy store with 
it.  I've been playing with port forwarding a lot as well.

I may be misunderstanding you, but it looks like you're saying that with the 
fmask=777 in my fstab line, then every file I write to the share should have 
permissions 000.  I've been trying to figure out why they don't, and I think 
it's because in my smb.conf file on the host machine, I've got "create mask = 
0664", which probably overrides the fmask rule in my fstab file.  Am I right?
