Ok, I just want to clarify what you are trying to do.
You have a Acorn computer and a pc on a network, the Acorn is sharing its hard disks using SMB, you are then trying to mount the Acorns disks onto the PC using Samba?
Or is it the other way around and you are exporting the hard-disks with Samba and want to mount them on the Acorn so you can access them?
Also is the Acorn running Linux or that other OS that I can't remember the name of! I do remember the Acorn from school days, we used to play a 3d clone of the classic game Virus (where you flew a kind of UFO thing) and also some kind of 3d game where you had a tank.
Also can you tell us what the error messages are? I will also give you a hint for mounting SMB filesystems with linux, you want to use the program smbmount which I believe is part of the standard Samba distribution but I cant check properly as I don't really want to download 4Mb of files to find out!
