Re: gvfs mount vs mount.cifs

However if I issue a direct mount.cifs command thus:

~$ sudo mount.cifs //ad.monash.edu/home/my-server-name/colinfee/home/colinfee/ad-home -ocredentials=/home/colinfee/.smb/ad-credentials

It mounts but with the /home/colinfee/ad-home and subfolders etc owned by root.

Is ~/ad-home owned by you? Make sure that it is. Specifically, when the remote file system is not mounted, the mount point at ~/ad-home should have your user as its owner. I haven't used CIFS, so I can't comment further.
