Filesystems mounted like that only show up in Nautilus. They are handled in the background by the virtual filesystem stuff.
To get it to show up to non-Gnome applications, you'd have to actually mount it. sudo apt-get install cifs-utils mkdir $HOME/server sudo mount -t //server/share $HOME/server You'll have to remount it after you reboot unless you create an entry in /etc/fstab that does it automatically.
