i had to change the permissions on the mount point to get mine to work.
originally they were 755. i changed them to 777, mounted the share, ls'd,
and everything was fine. umounted the share, reset the permissions to 755
on the mount point, remounted the share, ls'd, and everything was fine.
i am using fc3.
a friend of mine had the same problem with fc3 mounting win2003 sp1. he
followed above process and everything is fine now.
