Robie, I agree with you : on your computer, it works as I would expect.
My computer was built new this year and I installed 11.10. I upgraded to 12.04 beta version in march I think. I don't think to have installed very exotic app : only VirtualBox, and Digikam (which is more designed for KDE). Under, the 2 commands you asked me. I tried the 2nd one for 2 shared folders in Nautilus : Public and Documents. The 2nd time, for Documents, I didn't enter the password. Your chat with Chow is interesting for me despite I have no idea I've no idea where the process fails.
