    I have used samba a bit in the past and never had this issue.
    I successfully mount my XP share to my FC3 box and can move stuff at
    will back and forth in a term shell.
    However, when I use a gnome GUI to do it, the share always appears write
    protected. I have given "everyone" full priveleges to this share since
    it's just a repository I use to go back and forth with files.
    I'm sure it's some kind of permissions problem, but I can't figure out
    why with "everyone/full" I still get read only when logged in as myself.
    Root can of course do whatever it wants.

    As much as I like a good term, sometimes it's much easier to drag and
    drop 4 files with very dissimilar names using a gui rather than a term.

    for instance, I use smbmount //server/share /mnt/share username
    get prompted for Password:
    enter the password
    share is there
    just read only for *me*, not root.

    Any pointers?
