I had the same issue with motion trying to access a synology share (samba in my case).  
For me the solution described [here](https://dietpi.com/forum/t/read-write-access-denied-with-mounted-drives/2529/20) did the trick, except that the umount-mount sequence did not work. I had to reboot instead.  
And of course I used “uid=motion,gid=root,file\_mode=0770,dir\_mode=0770” in the fstab entry. Changed it with notepad++, not sed, but that shouldn’t matter.
