I don't think so. I think the problem is on the client side with autofs,

Yes, bad explanation on my part...
I don't know how smbfs
works; if you mount a FAT filesystem directly, you have to specify a user
who will own all of the files, because there's not such a concept
intrinsically.
How do you specify the user that will own the files? Seems like no
matter what I do root owns them. (From Craig's response) I tried
specifying 'user' and my own username like this(see after rw):
tweety -fstype=smbfs,rw,user,username=jpifer,password=pass
://192.168.1.20/tweetyroot
OR
tweety -fstype=smbfs,rw,myuser,username=myuser,password=pass
://192.168.1.20/tweetyroot
I'll have to play around with other file systems, like NFS, and see what
I get.
I'm no expert on automount, but for smbfs I'd take a look at
`man smbmount` and pay particular attention to the uid, gid,
fmask, and dmask options.
