samba - Nov 2002 - Any way for smbmount to ignore Read-Only attribs?

We are mounting remote Win2K servers under Linux and rsync'ing them off to
remote rsync servers. Unfortunately the "--delete" option in rsync
fails
regularly as some of the files/directories on the Win2K server are tagged
with the Read-Only DOS attribute (typically because the files were copied
off a CD-ROM). Rsync (and /bin/rm for that matter) therefore cannot delete
the file, and the rsync job fails.

I know there's a "setmode" option to smbclient that allows you to
fix this,
but it doesn't support recursion or wildcards.... 

I guess I'd like a new smbmount option "ignore-attribs" :-)
