mounting shares on WinXP machine as unprivileged user

[Carmel]

FreeBSD-7.2

I have created a folder named: 'laptop' in my home directory. I also
have Samba up and running. I want to mount a share on the laptop which
is running WinXP.

When I run the following command:

mount_smbfs -N //user at comp-name/share /usr/home/user/laptop

or just

mount -N //user at comp-name/share /usr/home/user/laptop

I receive this error message:

mount_smbfs: can not setup kernel iconv table (ISO8859-1:tolower): syserr = Operation not permitted

The ~/.nsmbrc file is correctly populated as is the /etc/fstab file.

I can make a successful connection if I run the command as root;
however, I do not want to do that.

Connections via the WinXP laptop work flawlessly as do the connections
via the FreeBSD machine if executed with root privileges.
