Is there any way to change the permissions on a sharepoint/mount so that other users on the same machine can use it?

Example: I am logged in to my Mac as user "chuck." If I mount a volume from our Win2K fileserver (whether via AFP, NFS, SMB, or CIFS(DAVE)), the user "chuck" BUT ONLY THAT USER has correct permissions.

In a nutshell, I can do this:

mkdir /volumes/fileserver/newfolder

...but I can't do this:

sudo -u otheruser mkdir /volumes/fileserver/newfolder

Is there a workaround for this? If not, other options?
