I think the smb:// URL is treated a little special. I think it tries the
supplied creds but then falls back to anonymous. If you want to explicitly
specify anonymous I think there is an NPA for that that can be passed to
the SmbFile constructor. You might also be able to do smb://@server/path/,
or perhaps smb://;@server/path/, or maybe smb://:@server/path/. Try
different permutations or look at the code to see how anonymous
credentials are repesented (I think it's an empty string).
