Stupid question, but from what I remember using mount.smbfs and
mount.cifs (when it could be run by a normal user because of s-bit), the
target directory must belong to the user doing the mount call.

I don’t know, what directory owner is required if you do the command via
sudo, but what permissions has ~/mnt/Share?

Just to try this I created a new directory (on the server):
drwxr-xr-x   2 hs hs     4096 Jul 29 14:29 testsamba

and the relevant stanze in smb.conf:
[testsamba]
        comment = Test Samba share
        browsable = yes
        guest ok = no
        path = /mnt/testsamba
        writable = yes
        force create mode = 0770
        force directory mode = 0775

Restarted samba but I am getting the same error (mount error(13): Permission denied) on the client.
