Samba and Mac

This question really does belong on the Samba at Samba.org list, but as there
are still problems due to the transition of that list to a new server... 

You might take a look at the commercial product "Dave" from Thursby. 
They're nice folks at Thursby and have worked with the Samba Team to
figure things out in the past. 

I know of no Open Source SMB client for Mac.  Yet.  Some of us are working 
on a Java client:  http://jcifs.samba.org/.

Other than that, you may need to look at other protocol implementations.  
An NFS client for Mac?  Perhaps NetATalk for Sun?
