Frist off thanks for your help so far!

I dropped in NetworkExplorer and tried to run it with the following url 
http://myserver/networkexplorerpattern///fileserver/fileshare/. I printed out 
the path the the SMBFile that appears to be created properly:

file.getPath() prints smb://fileserver/fileshare/

Is passes file.isDirectory() and when it goes into doDirectory it fails on 
dir.listFiles() with the following exception:

jcifs.smb.SmbException: The network name cannot be found.

fileserver pings fine from the server and client. Placing the path into 
windows explorer replacing the "//" with "\\" and the share opens.
