As far as I can tell, this has been the case since 4- or so, at
least.  Possibly as long as mount_smbfs has existed.

The work-around that I used was to configure amd to do the mount
(as root) on behalf of the user in question (me, at that time).

These days I use smbclient or GNOMEVFS/nautilus instead, but they
achieve somewhat different things...

Cheers,
