Bug Description
I've got all my music stored on an external file server running Ubuntu 6.06 with samba. I am accessing my music through a Samba share using a 6.10 Ubuntu beta installation. In 6.06 I could play my music without issue but upon upgrading to 6.10 I cannot.
I have tried opening the media with totem-xine but it also seems to have problems playing the file. The error in RhythmBox when trying to add the file to my library is: Could not read from resource. I can access files ok on the share and I can open other types of media like video.

One thing that I forgot to mention: I am able to add the file to my library successfully if I copy the file to my local machine first.
