We have 5.0.27 installed on a CentOS machine that doesn't have a ton

samba connected share?  The samba share does not support Unix file
permissions so it is not possible to set mysql as the owner of the
files.  Is this possible at all?

If you use proper mount-options, you can set the owner of the files.

mount -t smbfs -o uid=mysql $SHARE $DESTINATION

In general: This should not be a problem, but it will be slow as the network is propably slower than your local disc. Guess you knew that.
