gid, file_mode, dir_mode are all "fallback" values if they are not 
provided by the CIFS server.  So if your server has the CIFS unix 
extensions, those permissions are honored and the *_mode options are not 
applied.

If you haven't, I would read the man page mount.cifs(8) and the section 
"File and directory ownership and permissions."

I hope that helps.
