'cifsmount' and 'cifsumount' can be used by any user, not just by root. If
you run 'cifsmount', you must make sure that you are THE OWNER of the mount
point directory (if it exists prior to mounting) or the directory containing
the mount point (if the mount point did not exist). For 'cifsumount' you
must be the user who mounted the resource.

Please note that there is a bug in manual mounting on Mac OS X. See the
bugtracking system on http://www.obdev.at/products/sharity/support.html for
details. In short, if the mount point direcrory is created by Sharity, it
will be created with ownership 'root'. If you shut down the system, Sharity
may not be able to delete it before it gets killed. During the next mount
attempt, mounting will fail because root owns the directory.
