samba - Jul 2014 - Write permission for local user on a windows mount

Hello,

I have a debian server(7.2) which has a mount to a windows shared directory. The
share is configured under a specific user, let's say bobsshare.
I also have a local user on the debian server named alice, but alice cannot
write to the mounted directory.

What do I need to do to give alice write permissions on the mounted directory?

smbclient --version
Version 3.6.6

fstab
//mywindowsserver/share cifs username=domain/bobsshare,password=123456 0 0

I tried chmod, and chown but that didn't affect anything.
Ls -al still shows:
drwxr-xr-x 0 root root 0 Jul  9 10:29

Regards,

Grant

Put alice in the same domain group as bob, make the share group rw and
mount using the cifs multiuser option.
