I am experiencing exactly the same problems like described below. I do not have a solution right now, but I found a work-around that may help you.
As soon as I change the security parameter in the smb.conf file from security=user to security=share, mounting shares to Pocket PC seems to work. (HP iPAQ 4150 running Windows Mobile 2003)
I am running SAMBA V 3.0.2.a and 2.6.4.2-52 kernel as provided by the SuSE Linux 9.1 Pro distribution.
So set security=share ( do not forget to specify which user can access the share in the "valid user =" section for the particular share) and restart the SAMBA Server.
In my case this worked.

Hi Torsten,
Sorry I am able to offer a solution to your problem here. Instead, myself has encountered the same problem since switching to samba 3 and is hoping to hear from you if you have got any progress since then.
Thanks alot, Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards, Johnny

when accessing a samba server version 2.2.8a from a Pocket PC with Windows
Mobile 2003
you can give a password and tell the Pocket PC to remember it.
But, if you switch off the device or remove the LAN-card the stored password
is lost (or send in a different way as Pocket PC 2002).
Maybe the procedure of sending the stored password has been changed, because Pocket PC 2002 works fine with samba, and accessing a W2K works also fine with Windows Mobile 2003...
So, I tried accessing a samba server version 3.0.0 from a Pocket PC with
Windows Mobile
2003, but I always got the error message:
"Cannot find file '\\' (or one of its components). Check to ensure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available."
I tried to connect to '\\hostname' or '\\hostname\path' but it is alway replaced with '\\'. When I tried '//hostname' or '//hostname/path' the same error message appears with '//hostname' or '//hostname/path' instead of '\\'. With Pocket PC 2002 or W2K a connection to samba server version 3.0.0 is established without any problems.
Any ideas how to manage this?
Torsten
