samba - May 1999 - smbmount permissions

I'm having trouble with permissions and smbmount. I mounted a win98 share 
with full write access to /ftpd/site/incoming . A ls -l gives the following 
directory permissions:

drwxr-xr-x   1 root     root          512 May 29 16:52 incoming/

I need drwxrwxrxw so i tried:

chmod 777 incoming

nothing changed. My ftp daemon won't allow my users to create directories or
upload to the incoming directory, even though as root - in my shell - I seem 
to have write access.

Having trouble creating smbmounts with proper permissions. Here is a ls of
the directories before the mount:

drwxrwxr-x    2 root     staff        4096 Mar  6 13:22 adp/
drwxrwxr-x    2 root     staff        4096 Mar  6 13:22 alumni/
drwxrwxr-x    2 root     staff        4096 Mar  6 13:22 bus/
drwxrwxr-x    2 root     staff        4096 Mar  6 13:25 cars/
drwxrwxr-x    2 root     staff        4096 Mar  6 13:24 delta/
drwxrwxr-x    2 root     staff        4096 Mar  6 13:23 enroll/
drwxrwxr-x    2 root     staff        4096 Mar  6 13:24 exec/
drwxrwxr-x    2 root     staff        4096 Mar  6 13:23 finaid/
drwxrwxr-x    2 root     staff        4096 Mar  6 13:23 ois/
drwxrwxr-x    2 root     staff        4096 Mar  6 13:24 omega/
drwxrwxr-x    2 root     staff        4096 Mar  6 13:24 public/
drwxrwxr-x    2 root     staff        4096 Mar  6 13:23 regist/
drwxrwxr-x    2 root     staff        4096 Mar  6 13:22 stuserv/

Here is my smbmount commands:

smbmount //delta/adp /swau/adp
     -o
uid=lewisc,rw,dmask=0777,fmask=0777,workgroup=admin,credentials=/credentials
smbmount //delta/alumni /swau/alumni
     -o
uid=lewisc,rw,dmask=0777,fmask=0777,workgroup=admin,credentials=/credentials
smbmount //delta/Business /swau/bus
     -o
uid=lewisc,rw,dmask=0777,fmask=0777,workgroup=admin,credentials=/credentials
smbmount //delta/enroll /swau/enroll
     -o
uid=lewisc,rw,dmask=0777,fmask=0777,workgroup=admin,credentials=/credentials
smbmount //delta/exec /swau/exec
     -o
uid=lewisc,rw,dmask=0777,fmask=0777,workgroup=admin,credentials=/credentials
smbmount //delta/finaid /swau/finaid
     -o
uid=lewisc,rw,dmask=0777,fmask=0777,workgroup=admin,credentials=/credentials
smbmount //delta/ois /swau/ois
     -o
uid=lewisc,rw,dmask=0777,fmask=0777,workgroup=admin,credentials=/credentials
smbmount //delta/public /swau/public
     -o
uid=lewisc,rw,dmask=0777,fmask=0777,workgroup=admin,credentials=/credentials
smbmount //delta/Records /swau/regist
     -o
uid=lewisc,rw,dmask=0777,fmask=0777,workgroup=admin,credentials=/credentials
smbmount //delta/studserv /swau/stuserv
     -o
uid=lewisc,rw,dmask=0777,fmask=0777,workgroup=admin,credentials=/credentials
smbmount //delta/cars /swau/cars
     -o
uid=lewisc,rw,dmask=0777,fmask=0777,workgroup=admin,credentials=/credentials
smbmount //delta/lewisc /swau/delta
     -o
uid=lewisc,rw,dmask=0777,fmask=0777,workgroup=admin,credentials=/credentials
smbmount //omega/lewisc /swau/omega
     -o
uid=lewisc,rw,dmask=0777,fmask=0777,workgroup=admin,credentials=/credentials

Here is the resulting ls of the directories:

dr-xr-xr-x    1 lewisc   root         4096 Mar  7 11:38 adp/
dr-xr-xr-x    1 lewisc   root         4096 Jan 19  2001 alumni/
dr-xr-xr-x    1 lewisc   root         4096 Feb 27 15:42 bus/
dr-xr-xr-x    1 lewisc   root         4096 Dec 10 10:47 cars/
drwxrwxrwx    1 lewisc   root         4096 Mar  5 13:29 delta/
dr-xr-xr-x    1 lewisc   root         4096 Nov  8 09:06 enroll/
dr-xr-xr-x    1 lewisc   root         4096 Jan 18  2001 exec/
dr-xr-xr-x    1 lewisc   root         4096 Mar  7 14:51 finaid/
dr-xr-xr-x    1 lewisc   root         4096 Mar  8 08:33 ois/
drwxrwxrwx    1 lewisc   root         4096 Mar  6 11:51 omega/
dr-xr-xr-x    1 lewisc   root         4096 Jan 17 16:39 public/
dr-xr-xr-x    1 lewisc   root         4096 Mar  6 16:46 regist/
dr-xr-xr-x    1 lewisc   root         4096 Apr 16  2001 stuserv/

Notice the delta and omega shares are getting masked correctly. These are
home directories on their respective machines. But I still can't figure out
why the others aren't getting proper permissions because the credentials
file is using a login that has proper access to the shares on the remote
server.

Any suggestions?

Check the status on the server. If smbfs sees a readonly attribute on the
dir entry returned by the server it disables all write flags on the entry.
