I always get a this when using mount_smbfs using the following syntax

mount_smbfs -I my.stupid.server //me@servernetbios/Inetpub /mnt/server

mount_smbfs: vfsload(smbfs): Exec format error

I am actually able to use sharity to connect and mount the server the way I
want. Here is where my problems start. When I mount the share, I have to
mount as root for some reason, which means that only root can edit the files
on the share.  Unless I login to my WM as root (which I don't do) I can't
use my file manager to edit any of the files, I always have to "sudo emacs
file.whatever".  Is there a way to allow a standard user to mount a samba
share? I always get Operation Not Permitted when I attempt to mount as
anything but root or using sudo.
