[Q] Smb mount & system permissions

$

Hey out there,
I need some advise regarding mounting a local samba share folder on a tab/phone.
I manage to mount a share from my server to the /mnt/cifs (or other folder in cifs) of the android device but can't manage to get it seen by the app i intend to. I used cifsmanager to easily mount the share.
I also managed to mount via the terminal the share folder but it can't be seen by ES Explorer (or other app) except when mounted in folders owned by "root".

My aim would be to have any app (like music player) to see the content of the mounted share and use its files. And in the long run to have the mounting done automatically done when at home or when away sync some folder via sftp and access all using the same protocol.

After searching for days now I don't manage to find any answer about this problem. It doesn't seem to be possible (and I find it logical) to mount in /storage or other folders owned by the "system" user.

Can someone helps me to understand the mounts and permissions on Android and more specifically in Cyanogenmod or at least redirect me to the right location?

Thanks guys :)


My device: ASUS TF300T
ROM: Cyanogenmod 10.1 nightly
