So far I've had no luck whatsoever with either samba or nfs.  I tried a manual 
mount similar to the one you quoted as working, pointing to my home 
directory, and that did work.  I haven't had any luck so far with fstab 
mounts, but then I haven't had much time this week.  I'll try to get more 
time on this over the next few days.
