Thanks for the pointer but just sneaking a preview question here:
Is cifs read-only by derault or something?
My trouble is getting things mounted rw.

Its fat32 not NTFS so should be writable some how, with correct
options, at least it would seem so from man mount.cifs.

example that results in ro mounting:
  (wrapped for mail)
  mount.cifs  //192.168.0.15/J-ahn-d \
    /mnt/J-ahn-d -o rw,username=Administrator,password=''
