Why are you using SMB when you have a linux based machine sharing to
another linux based machine?  NFS is  much simpler if you don't have
windows/Mac's involved.

Having said that, if you don't have some sort of directory services
running, you need to make sure that your user sweetth exists on both
the server and client, and they both have the same UID/GID's for the
user.  

Typically, for Samba based shares, you should just be able to make sure
ownership of the database files is set to "sweetth".   As you're
mounting the share as a user, all files in that share should probably
be owned by the same user.

Alternatively, use  windows to set permissions of your photos folder on
the server  to be full access by your user.

As this isn't a Digikam issue, you might want to seek help with setting
permissions in the Samba forums if you can't get things working.
