Couple of things:

a) Is this mount purely for desktop use?

    If yes, you'd almost certainly be better off using the GVFS/samba
    support inside GNOME:

 	Places -> Connect to Server... -> <fill in the blanks>

    You may need to ensure you have gvfs-smb installed

b) That your NAS has user IDs makes me suspect it might possibly be a
    Unix box of some sort. If so, why not just use NFS?
