You see: "root users" and users can't write, mode 777 is ignored. With old Suse-server worked for 5 years.

gid, file_mode, dir_mode are all "fallback" values if they are not provided by the CIFS server.  So if your server has the CIFS unix extensions, those permissions are honored and the *_mode options are not applied.

If you haven't, I would read the man page mount.cifs(8) and the section "File and directory ownership and permissions."

I hope that helps.
