Hi,

My impression is that it used to work prior to gutsy with basically the
fstab you are mentioning. But how did you then provide the
username/password for the samba user. Usually this information must be
provided in fstab. Me confused :)

What does the permission error exactly say? I suspect the error you are
getting is because you are not providing any un/pw info  for loggin into
the samba-server. My understanding from your first post is that using
'sudo mount.cifs //192.168.1.109/share /media/share -o user=mike'
works? I take this to mean that you get promted for mike's password.

Can you try with this is fstab:

//192.168.1.109/share /media/share cifs user=mike 0 0

and then try to mount with

'sudo mount /media/share'

You should get promted for user 'mike's password on the server now. 

If this works, in order to mount automatically on e.g. boot you 
need some more stuff in fstab, I can get back with that if this works.

I don't think so, but why do you believe so?
