This is not true. My wrong. read on please.

Linux client: libsmbclient from HEAD
Linux server: samba 2.2.2

I've tried the following with the program snippet attached:

Linux client vs. Windows 2000: 
corona is the netbios name of the box with ip 130.89.226.223

o smbc_opendir(smb://130.89.226.223) returned: -1 errno: 0 strerror: Success
o smbc_opendir(smb://130.89.226.223/mp3) returned: 11024
  All OK!
o smbc_opendir(smb://corona) returned: 11024
  All OK!
o smbc_opendir(smb://corona/mp3) returned: 11024
  All OK!

Linux client vs. Win98:
sir-bedevere is the netbios name of the box with ip 130.89.226.223

o smbc_opendir(smb://130.89.226.216) returned: -1 errno: 0 strerror: Success
o smbc_opendir(smb://130.89.226.216/upload) returned: -1 errno: 2 strerror: No
such    file or directory
o smbc_opendir(smb://sir-bedevere) returned: 11024
  All OK!
o smbc_opendir(smb://sir-bedevere/upload) returned: 11024
  All OK!

Linux client vs Linux server:
niihau is the netbios name of the box with ip 130.89.226.217

o smbc_opendir(smb://130.89.226.217) returned: -1 errno: 0 strerror: Success
o smbc_opendir(smb://130.89.226.217/upload) returned: 11024
  All OK!
o smbc_opendir(smb://niihau/) returned: 11024
  All OK!
o smbc_opendir(smb://niihau/upload) returned: 11024
  All OK!

Hope this helps. 

Yours,
