I've got a mac (called 'maxw-hackbook') with a folder (called 'work') which i've shared, making it "read & write" by me, "staff" and everyone. I've then mounted it to a folder on my ubuntu laptop, as follows:

#on ubuntu laptop
$ smbtree -s
WORKGROUP
\\MAXW-HACKBOOK         maxw-hackbook
    \\MAXW-HACKBOOK\IPC$            IPC Service (maxw-hackbook)
    \\MAXW-HACKBOOK\work            work

 $ sudo smbmount //MAX-HACKBOOK/work/ /mnt/hackbook-work -o ip=192.168.1.228,username=Max,password=passwordonmacbook,w

This has successfully mounted the "work" folder on the macbook to the /mnt/hackbook-work folder in ubuntu. But, it's read-only, even though i've set the shared folder (on the mac) to be "read and write" by everybody.

I need to have write access to that folder on the mac. Can anybody see what i've done wrong?

thanks, max
