Can see shares but can't access them

I have files located on a Mac OSX Server. I've enabled SMB file sharing support on that box.

From my Arch desktop I can now list those shares with smbclient:

smbclient -L 192.168.0.15 -U%
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.28a-apple]

	Sharename       Type      Comment
	---------       ----      -------
	IPC$            IPC       IPC Service (Mac OS X Server)
	Unsorted        Disk      Unsorted
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.28a-apple]

	Server               Comment
	---------            -------
	MEDIA-SERVER         Mac OS X Server

	Workgroup            Master
	---------            -------
	WORKGROUP

That has taken me an hour because Apple had "available = no" in the smb.conf (despite all of their glossy UI's saying everything was enabled and accessible). I cannot seem to connect to the Unsorted share now though.

smbclient //192.168.0.15/Unsorted -U%             
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.28a-apple]

At which point it just hangs. Are there any client side settings I can check? Otherwise I assume this is a server side issue and I should hit the Apple forums?

I used NFS instead which was far easier to set up. Just created /etc/exports file and started NFS via the Apple Server Admin.
