From `man smbmount`:
uid=<arg>
sets the uid that will own all files on the mounted filesystem. It
may be specified as either a username or a numeric uid.
gid=<arg>
sets the gid that will own all files on the mounted filesystem. It
may be specified as either a groupname or a numeric gid.
...
fmask=<arg>
sets the file mask. This determines the permissions that remote
files have in the local filesystem. This is not a umask, but the
actual permissions for the files. The default is based on the cur‐
rent umask.
dmask=<arg>
Sets the directory mask. This determines the permissions that remote
directories have in the local filesystem. This is not a umask, but
the actual permissions for the directories. The default is based on
the current umask.

rw mount read-write
