Referring to the mount.cifs(8) manual page as requested is not very enlightening!
The user option on there is rather different to the one on mount(8):
user=arg specifies the username to connect as. [...]I think you may have to set user=... and then override it if you want, which is odd. I wonder if the namespace collision is intentional.
There are a few references to this if you do a Google search.
It turns out that the easy way to get it to work is to set the SUID bit on /sbin/mount.cifs and /sbin/umount.cifs, it now works for me.
