Does VLC add an item in the playlist at all? If so, what's the Location of that item?
What happens when you try to open the SMB file from the CLI ('vlc smb://server/share/path')?

It has been reported that Nautilus does not provide the SMB username and password to VLC. In this case, VLC will obviously fail, but it should print an error.
