If you go to a command line, and do ls -la /home/cjohnson/server1/linux
What does that show you about the owner and permissions of the
directory?

smbmount can take a permission, uid & gid in arguments (mount uses
smbmount to mount the share). Check what you're passing there. If you
aren't the owner of the directory once it's mounted, then you won't be
able to create stuff in it without the right permissions.
