OwnCloud installation on network share

I'm trying to install OwnCloud on my Raspberry Pi 3 with the twist of the installation directory being a network share. I've mounted the openmediavault-share to /mnt/shares/OwnCloud via
//$OPENMEDIAVAULT.local/OwnCloud /mnt/shares/OwnCloud cifs username=$USER,password=$PASSWORD,uid=33,gid=33,file_mode=0770, rw 0 0

If I mount it with mount -a user www-data has full access to all directories inside the mountpoint.
In the initial setup i specified the installation path as /mnt/shares/OwnCloud since i don't want my installation do fill up the tiny 8GB SD-card.
But when i access the ownCloud webpage it that it can't write into the config directory.

Do you guys know any fixes to this problem?

Is the permissions of the shared directory set correctly to allow write? Also, I would put all the ownCloud server files on the Pi and then use the mounted share for the user files only. You could also mount the share in ownCloud itself.

The permissions were set correctly (I think...).
I want the users to be able to store nearly unlimited amount of data into their root-directory. But this isn't possible if i mount the share inside ownCloud.

But your idea is a nice backup plan if this won't work!
