[Samba] OS X drops Win 2003 shares

[Roman Budzianowski]

I can mount Win 2003 shares on my Macs fine. However, the shares  
disappear after a while. This behavior is unlike on XP where the  
mounts stay attached forever. The session timeout on 2003 doesn't  
matter. It works that way out of the box, and after reconfiguring  
samba on the MAC to join the windows domain. I think it happens when  
the MAC goes to sleep and after waking up tries to remount the files  
systems. I get various messages in the system log:

mount_smbfs: error from NetrShareEnum call: exception = 382312522

Did I configure 2003 incorrectly (though it doesn't show on XP  
clients)? Or is this a samba problem on OS X?
This is very annoying as some apps (iTunes) change their storage  
directory behind the scenes when a drive disappears.

Thanks,
