Yes, that's similar to the format for smbfs: dmask=777,fmask=777. The use of dmask and fmask is deprecated with cifs, and as I don't really understand the syntax, I just slavishly followed the recommended file_mode=0777 and dir_mode=0777. I did wonder whether the cifs syntax would treat 777 and 0777 as equivalent anyway. Can't think why it would make a difference to use one rather than the other - but then the logic of a lot of this stuff is very obscure (like cifs needing a blank line at the end of the credentials file as an end-of-file marker, where smbfs doesn't). So 777 worth a try - at least it has powerful magical connotations! I'll have a go tomorrow, as my brain is starting to hurt.
