[Samba] YASP (Yet Another Samba Problem)

When I attmept to mount a PC (W2K) share via my fstab, I get the
following error message on the mount:
"Unknown parameter encountered 'file'"

Truth be told , samba is becoming more and more frustrating. The only
thing I have been able to successfully do is to make visible my NFS
mount point across my file server to my W2K machine. I am running SuSE
9.1, Samba 3.02a

Enclosed is a copy of my smb.config and my fstab files:

fstab -

/dev/hda1       /       ext3    acl,user_xattr 1 1
/dev/hda6       /data1  auto    noauto,user 0 0
/dev/hdb1       /devel  ext3    acl,user_xattr 1 2

/dev/hda5       swap    swap    pri=42 0 0
