CIFS behavior is unexpected

[MountainX]

This mount command works:

[CODE]sudo mount -t smbfs -o credentials=/root/.MyCredentials,uid=me,gid=me,file_mode=0770,dir_mode=0770 //192.168.9.9/Shared /media/test
[/CODE]

Simply changing to cifs makes it not work:
[CODE]sudo mount -t cifs -o credentials=/root/.MyCredentials,uid=me,gid=me,file_mode=0770,dir_mode=0770 //192.168.9.9/Shared /media/test
[/CODE]

The cifs version fails under this scenario:

Open Nautilus
open test folder (share)
File > Create Document > Empty File "deleteme3.txt"
double click "deleteme3.txt" to open in gedit
enter some text and click save:
Error: Could not save the file /media/test/deleteme3.txt.

I have been able to repeat this failure for the last 2 days under various mounting options.

I'm using Gutsy i386

The problem not only exists in Hardy beta, but the work-around that worked under Gutsy does not work under Hardy at this time.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
