Check that the user account which your using (not root, the samba user account) that your connecting to this share with has write permissions. Or whether the share on the NT box itself has write permissions

What does "mount" tell you?I have a vfat share from an NT box which has full perms on the box.
I am mounting it as root with uid=0 and oid=0 and rw.
The perms and ownerships look OK but I cannot write to it.
What stupid thing may I have missed?
It mounts OK and everything looks kosher, but trying to write to it gets "Permission denied".
I might be wrong about this, but isn't NT4 fat? (fat16 as apposed to fat32)
The kernel complains that fat is not supported and when I try vfat it can't find the special device (cos it's across a network)
Perhaps mounting it as a fat filesystem might fix it?
Didn't work, only smbmount or mount.smbfs works
