Actually, you don't even have to go through all that.  What you can do is
the following:

#ln -s /mnt/cdrom /desiredmountpointname/cda
#ln -s /mnt/cdrom2 /desiredmountpointname/cdb
#ln -s /mnt/cdrom3 /desiredmountpointname/cdc

Then, in your smb.conf, just add /desiredmountpointname as a non-witable
share, and you are done.  (find examples for this at samba.org, or the
sample files in the docs)  The share will show up as three folders under
the sharename.

This way, your configuration is unchanged, and the cdrom can be mounted
from either the soft directory or the /mnt directory.
