We primarily use SMB for our mixed OS X/Windows/*NIX environment. I have setup SMB automount on my OS X boxes and am able to always use the same path to my SMB mounts regardless of what user is logged in, with no permission issues.

If anyone is interested in using this method instead of using the mount command, I can post exactly how I have things set up.

Probably not but I wonder if this is in any way related to the problem

    Mmm, interesting thread.

    I use NFS at my office entirely, and I've had no issues
    with security, using it as I do with locally configured accounts
    and matching uids/gids across the net.

    However, some folks do need AFP or even SMB, and for those folks
    issues like these do come up. I think the main reason is these
    protocols were simply not designed with multiuser access in mind %^/
    Updates are coming to change that situation, but it's in a state
    of flux right now, and that means a year or so of instability
    while the protocols shake out the bugs.
