I guess when you mount this smbfs via mount command you are doing it as
root.
Therefore you'll need to give a full access right to this folder
(/home/cjohnson/server1/linux) to your user (cjohnson?).
Best bet in your situation will be 
chown -R cjohnson /home/cjohnson/server1
Other option  is to use root account to do writing - something I would
not suggest.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Denis.
