CIFS mounts are normally done as one user, with user-level
credentials.  If this user is the owner of all the files and
directories on the source side, they should match - but otherwise an
attempt to change ownership will fail.  Samba offers a user mapping
option that might help but if the NAS offers nfs (or ssh and rsync),
that might be a better approach.
