You may be better off posting to the nh-users group rather than the fluent group, as that's more of the problem you're running into here. In my experience, I've never seen an enum able to be mapped to a table like a class, so I don't know if that's possible or not. An enum is typically mapped as a property value to a column for a class. Have you attempted to create a classmap for your enum yet? If so and it doesn't work, what's the error that you receive? If not, then all you'd have to do is convert your hbm mapping to a fluent mapping and you're good to go.
