There appear to be 2 paths, neither ideally what you desire. Information heavily borrowed from this post:

1. Use the command

   $ open 'smb://user@hostname/shared_drive/directory'
   

   This will use Finder to do the same thing as using the Finder menu Go->Connect to Server. This will preserve correct permissions and ownership of the share nodes.

2. Create a mount directory, set ownership to yourself, mount the share:

   $ sudo mkdir -p /Volumes/Local_mount_folder
   $ sudo chown your_local_user /Volumes/Local_mount_folder
   $ mount -t smbfs //WORKGROUP\;user@hostname/shared_drive/directory /Volumes/Local_mount_folder
   

   Note that the last line does NOT contain 'sudo'. It is not required for the mount command in Mac OS 12.1 if you own the mount point. You will be prompted for your WORKGROUP\user domain password.

   Also note that the this option will cause all nodes (files & directories) in the root (and possibly more) of the mounted share to be listed as being owned by you. That does not play well in the SMB ecosystem, IMO.

To unmount and delete the mount point, simply:

    $ sudo umount /Volumes/Local_mount_folder

You will get an error message if you do this with any files/directories open in that share, including Terminal windows.

Thus I continue to search for a refinement on option 2 above.

   Note that the last line does NOT contain 'sudo'. It is not required for the mount command in Mac OS 12.1 if you own the mount point. You will be prompted for your WORKGROUP\user domain password. WORKGROUP will be required if connecting to a domain.

   Also note that the this option will cause all nodes (files & directories) in the root (and possibly more) of the mounted share to be listed as being owned by you. That does not play well in the SMB ecosystem, IMO.

If you get an error message that 'File exists', you most likely have a mount directory by that name, owned by root, and only visible to root. You must 'sudo ls -alF /Volumes' to see it. Once confirmed you can 'sudo rmdir <folder_path>' to stop the error message.

    $ sudo umount /Volumes/Local_mount_folder
