Other than "RTFSC", does anyone have any ideas what I could do
(workarounds, etc) so that I can run scripts in a reasonable amount of
time? (Might this have anything to do with my share being non-writable?)

curiosity, what are any of these expected to do?
They are indeed mutually exclusive. See 'man mount' for an explanation of the
flags. You might want to try -x or -X.
