Not currently. The mount doesn't have credentials for users other than
"joeuser" and the server doesn't have any idea that the file was
actually created by someone else.
There are vague plans to properly implement multiuser mounts in CIFS,
but it's a fairly major overhaul and isn't currently a priority. There
is some support for multiuser mounts in cifs already, but it's a rather
half-assed affair at the moment.
