Sorry, maybe I was not clear enough. The contradictory to your first
sentence is true. While for fat partition mounts the "fmask" options
stands for an umask - so fmask=777 there means umask=777 which means
chmod 000 - the smbmount manpage says that fmask there stands for the
real permissions. See "man 8 smbmount". This is in first line the
permission set for accessing shared files. The server side "create mask"
setting comes to play when you store new files in the share. Anyway what
you did use as option when mounting the share.
