Stupid question, but from what I remember using mount.smbfs and
mount.cifs (when it could be run by a normal user because of s-bit), the
target directory must belong to the user doing the mount call.

I don’t know, what directory owner is required if you do the command via
sudo, but what permissions has ~/mnt/Share?

Shade and sweet water!

What confounds me is that browsing the share using dolphin works (with
the same username and password) but mounting as cifs does not. I will
next investigate the suggestions by Mr. Smiley.

Well, I just have tested (squeeze) and seems to work fine :-?

***
mount -t cifs //192.168.0.8/share -o username=user,password=mysecretpassword /mnt
***

And the share mounts under /mnt.

Just check the password you write is the correct one, if not you'll get
the "mount error(13): Permission denied" message.

Ah, about the logs... well, the interesting part should fall under the
samba server side, not the client O:-)

Sorry, I don't think I understand. Please note the following:
~$ cat /proc/fs/cifs/LinuxExtensionsEnabled
cat: /proc/fs/cifs/LinuxExtensionsEnabled: No such file or directory
~$ ls /proc/fs/cifs
ls: cannot access /proc/fs/cifs: No such file or directory
~$ ls /proc/fs
ext4 jbd2 nfsd

I don't have the cifs directory in /proc/fs neither on the server nor on
the client.

Just to try this I created a new directory (on the server):
drwxr-xr-x 2 hs hs 4096 Jul 29 14:29 testsamba

and the relevant stanze in smb.conf:
[testsamba]
comment = Test Samba share
browsable = yes
guest ok = no
path = /mnt/testsamba
writable = yes
force create mode = 0770
force directory mode = 0775

Restarted samba but I am getting the same error (mount error(13):
Permission denied) on the client.
