I tailed .xsession-errors after logging in and I see the following line
starts to appear once I lose th ability to browse my mp3 shares:

** (nautilus:1091): CRITICAL **: file corba-env.c: line 149
(CORBA_exception_init): assertion `ev != NULL' failed

This I think is mostly a problem with bad design on Gnome's part.  Use
Connect to Server to connect to a smb share and it bypasses
gnome-keyring-manager and the icon type shows up as a server.  Mount the
share through the network:/// location and select mount share and it
will use gnome-keyring-manager and show up as folder.  Gnoem treats
mounting SMB shares in two different ways depending on what path you
take to connect.  I don't get it.  If I can get some time I'll piss and
moan on one of their lists.  :)  

Now that I think of it, possibly these two different connect methods are
conflicting with one another and causing me to lose my SMB mounts?
