I was able to mount a nested directory from my Samba server onto my Linux desktop by specifying the full directory path. Did you try this out prior to posting your question and have issues?
Here was my syntax, adjust your accordingly: sudo mount -t cifs -o credentials=/home/jbess/unp // 10.0.0.5/Applications/Linux /mnt/temp In the above, 10.0.0.5 is my server, and the share name is Applications. Linux is a subdirectory of that share. Jeremiah E.
