[Lee Hughes]

 can you access the share with smbclient ?
 
 smbclient -U username //servername-or-IP/share

 I just checked, local directories were entered correctly and even the NAS directories were in the correct case.

Yeah Samba can mean cifs and/or smbfs. I would expect either to work. I
have found that sometimes it only works when you give the IP but you  
tried that. Did you try codepage 437?
