CIFS file ownership is root unless you also specify in your mount command
-o uid=<user-id-of-your-regular-KDE-user>  (or equivalent uid=user in fstab
options column)

There's also a 'multiuser' CIFS mount option, but not sure you want to go
there, especially if you're a single luser on your workstation accessing
this shared CIFS mount. Once all files appear with yourself as owner, many
permission problems (derived from 'other' not having [write on
files/execute on dirs] permissions) will go away. You can also use dir_more
and file_mode to force 777/666 for all files in the mount, but that's
frowned upon for obvious reasons :-)
