mounting an smbfs as non superuser



I am trying to mount an smbfs as the backup user and something is not right. I can run this as root and it works fine

 

mount -t smbfs –o owner=backup -o lfs -o username=administrator,password=XXXXXX //192.168.2.200/drobo /media/drobo/

 

yet when I mount it that way the backup user has no permissions. If I try and mount it as the backup user I get a message stating only root can do that.

 

mount: only root can do that

 

Anyone know how I can mount this so that the backup user can write to it

 

Thank you
