I cannot figured out what happening. I have a smbfs mount through I
share a network disk. On this, I can create files or directories, but
I cannot write any file. In other words:

WORKS
root(a)svista:~# mkdir -v /mnt/usb-modem/foo
mkdir: created directory `/mnt/usb-modem/foo'

WORKS
root(a)svista:~# touch /mnt/usb-modem/bar
root(a)svista:~# ll /mnt/usb-modem/
total 0
-rwxrwxrwx 1 alibi alibi 0 2010-06-03 15:36 bar
drwxrwxrwx 2 alibi alibi 0 2009-06-15 18:30 foo

DOESN'T WORK
root(a)svista:~# date > /mnt/usb-modem/readme.txt
-su: /mnt/usb-modem/readme.txt: Permission denied

Can you help me?

You could try experimenting with the different mask parameters in
smb.conf.

man smb.conf and search for "mask". I would think that the defaults
should be fine, but maybe not. I haven't used samba in while.

Or is this a share on a Windows machine that you're accessing through
your Debian box?

It's a USB pen drive attached onto my router. Maybe I can set `umask`
from `mount` parameters... (?). But, which is it the right?

You can try using chmod g+s <groupname> && chown -R root:<groupname>
on the directory. Then all newly created files will have the same
group. See also:
