mount error: ...not superuser and mount.cifs not installed SUID

I'm trying to automount Samba shares but get this everytime I try to mount the partition:

mount error: permission denied or not superuser and mount.cifs not installed SUID

I have this entry in the fstab:

//192.168.2.1/Capsule /media/capsule cifs auto,noserverino,username=xxx,password=xxx,workgroup=WORKGROUP,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,suid,users 0 0

I tried different options (suid,users or without them) same results.

I also tried to chown like this:

chmod u+s mount.cifs

But still no luck

Need help please.

It seems that mount.cifs will only let you mount at directory that you are the owner of.  I think this may be changeable with the UID option but I have not figured it out.
