Ahhhhhh, this may be my problem.  I was confused and was thinking that the
use of the 'guest' directive on the smbmount command line was specifying the
guest account on the win2k box, not on my Linux/samba server!!! My guest
account directive in smb.conf is still commented out which I think means it
is using the user 'nobody'.  I'll check that.  It appears to sort of work.
Here is what the smbmount command gives me:
