It's working again now - it seems to just take time (1-2 hours) to work after mounting. So the situation is -
1) mount as SMBFS, works immediately in terminal, but doesn't work in nautilus or from any GUI app (ie Songbird, VMware)
2) mount as CIFS, works fine in all applications but not for an hour or two after mounting/booting. Not ideal...
The NAS is 320Gb, so it's fairly large, but the fact I can access it immediately from the command line via smbfs, unless cifs has a totally different way of caching... Dunno, seems very weird.
Dmizer, really appreciate your help with this. This thread shows just how helpful a community like this can be.
Now if I could just get it working perfectly....
