I see, well you could introduce some test into the equation, ie
if this_share is not mounted
mount it
else continue
There are other ways to access smb shares:
in konqueror travel to the url smb://machine/share and a
username/password dialog will pop up.
there are programs like linneighbourhood and others that allow you to
browse available shares. (like network neighbourhood)
are you logging into the NT domain that stores the shares? take a look
at the functionality in samba that allows scripts to be run when you log
on. (or does that run scripts on a windows client when you log into a
samba-based domain? - dunno)
I feel we are both missing something real obvious here....
