Glad that you have been able to get smbmount to work, it can be tricky. The approach that I use is to install an FTP server on the destination system and then use konquror as the FTP client and transfer files across the network that way. I also find that the file transfers tend to be much faster this way. As to your problem, you mention that you are moving the files and that you are having a problem with write permission. Since you were able to move the files on the other partitions, it sounds like the write permission issue is on the partition that you are trying to recover from, not on the destination system. My advice is that you should never be trying to write to any potentially corrupted partition at all; that is; you should be doing a copy rather than a move. Copy should only need read access, which you seem to have, while move does a copy and then deletes the original, requiring write access to the source disk.
