[Samba] Erratic behavior with smbmount

I'm running Linux Fedora Core 2 with Samba 3.0.3-5
installed. I'm experiencing some strange behavior
when I try to mount a FAT32 share on a Win2k
workstation.
After a fresh reboot, when I try smbmount (or
mount.smb) everything seems to work (no error
messages). Then when I try to access the mountpoint -
via Nautilus or by doing "ls" in a terminal - the
system freezes. If I try smbumount I get "Device or
resource busy." I have to use "umount -l" to unmount
the share.
What's weird is that the behavior is very erratic. If
I start and stop nmb and smb a few times, and change
some minor parameters with SWAT, and then try again,
then smbmount works fine - I can browse the share with
Nautilus, drag-and-drop, etc. Once I reboot, it all
starts again.
Here are the results of testparm:
