I don't think this matters. Credentials, username and password, are 
being passed explicitly to the Windows (R)(Tm)(c) machine when smbclient 
and mount_smbfs are invoked.

No: [homes] is a special case - it maps home directories to users. No 
path here. Check the default smb.conf for reference.

So far as the OP is concerned, is anything showing up in the pathetic 
excuse for logging that ships with Windows? Event Log entries might show 
why the connection is being refused.
