I double-checked that everything was as it ought to be according to your tutorial, opened up Thunar and lo and behold, all the machines were there (including one that I didn't realize was turned on).
I was even able to browse through the shared directory in the test machine.
Then something went awry. I tried moving up a level in Thunar and got a warning "Transport endpoint is not connected." From that point on that's all I get. It won't even display the workgroup.
Looking for solutions I saw this first:

But as best as I can tell from Wireshark that's not the problem at all.
Then I saw this:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...mb/+bug/198351
I've seen symptoms of this before (the question marks in the directory listing, for example).
Somebody notes (2008-11-17) that Dmik's workaround works on Xubuntu 8.10 (which I am using). Noticed it was reversible so I thought I'd try the manual downgrade
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...51/comments/16)... but it tells me "Package not available in this suite."
Okay, reading on there is discussion of libsmbclient not being thread safe, and
Except that I do not have smbnetfs installed. ???
