That's logical, when you mount a CIFS share you identified yourself as a
user, and by default this is you unix login ("root" here). But as "root"
is unknown you are identifed to the guest user.

Now, the C:\Windows is, by default, only accessible by the
"Administrator" user, and C:\Documents and Settings\Jane is only
accessible by the user "Jane".

Two choice:

- modify the security settings on the share (right click on the dir ->
Settings)
- mount the share using another username :
ls -la /mnt/data/Documents\ and\ Settings/Jane/ -o usernam=Jane
ls -la /mnt/data/Documents\ and\ Settings/Jane/ -o
usernam=Administrator


Regards

by specifically sharing the folder 'Jane' I can mount it andcopy the stuff
OK

In WinXP I cant specifically share the C:\WINDOWS folder ( the apply button
is greyed out)
Looks like they dont want me to back up my windwos folder

If seaparate I can do it with dd but thats not really on for regular backups
