I have been watching this post for a while waiting for someone to spread some wisdom.
I have found this same problem in a few instances.
connecting a file share using smb://
If a an OS X machine is member of a domain without administrator privileges then the user will get the mounted disk icon, but it will soon disappear when trying to browse it.
Trying to access the drive using the terminal, gives and access denied message.
The only 2 work arounds I have come up with so far are:
give all your mac users administrator privileges. WHAT??!!
Install Services for Macintosh on the server then make sure you have appletalk active in the system prefs. then connect using afp:/at/
Now, what about servers that are not under your control?
That is a great question and I am waiting for the answer to that myself.
Whenever I try to VPN to a win2k server without admin privileges or SFM, I have to use a PC and I really hate that.
