I encounter the same situation.
The scenario :
Use "connect to server" to connect to a windows share, enter user & password;
Use the icon created on the desktop to browse the newly connected share. I get "Unable to mount location , failed to mount windows share".
HOWEVER, and here comes the interesting part :
I can open a terminal window and
cd ~/.gvfs
There you will find your perfectly mounted share, you can enter it, ls and cd in it and so on.
So, it seems that the mount is actually done but somehow the GUI thinks the mount failed...
