For a while I have been miffed at my PVR, wonderign where my samba mounting has gone. Finally, after testing several different images for dreambox, I discovered the problem: Mac OS X Leopard (and apparently Snow Leopard) do not by default support connections to SMB shares that allow Guests to authenticate.

Adding a file called

~/Library/Preferences/nsmb.conf

and adding the following lines:

[default]
minauth=none

on the workstation fixed the problem.

All this after midnight while watching Liverpool beat Stoke. Thanks to Google and Ubuntu forums:
