Ran into the same, or similar, issue. It turned out the problem was
caused by insufficient permissions. Found a solution here
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/68079/mount-cifs-network-drive-
write-permissions-and-chown
Below is the error message I received. Would be helpful to the user if
the error returned stated that the destination was not writable.
