The problem here seems to be confined to Nautilus. I used SmbK4 (on gnome actually) and it is fine with the shares. this is a good work around but it doesn't address the problem. There was an update to Nautilus yesterday and since the update, it ceases to function. Before that, I didn't have any issues. For the moment, this work around functions but I am perplexed as to the actual issue.
