Yes, bad explanation on my part...

How do you specify the user that will own the files? Seems like no
matter what I do root owns them. (From Craig's response) I tried
specifying 'user' and my own username like this(see after rw):
tweety   -fstype=smbfs,rw,user,username=jpifer,password=pass
://192.168.1.20/tweetyroot
OR
tweety   -fstype=smbfs,rw,myuser,username=myuser,password=pass
://192.168.1.20/tweetyroot

I'll have to play around with other file systems, like NFS, and see what
I get. 

Thanks,
James
