You really can't do what you want to do with Samba wrt ClearCase.
In order to see files under CC, you need to first set a view which defines the 
versions of files you want to see from the VOB.  When connecting to a Samba 
system, there would have to be a way for samba to see into or set that view
when you connected to a certain path.

The only way this would really work would be if you could set something up 
such that for every user who connected to a given Samba share representing a 
ClearCase view, that users specific view were started before the share got 
served out.  I suppose it *could* be done with some very creative shell 
scripting and samba configuration, but you'll have to be quite careful.

Good Luck.
