[Samba] smbmount question

Hi,
I seem to be missing something. I've got a remote server with a
directory I need to share to my local (win98) machines. Due to some
poor planning that server and my local machines are not on the same
network. I bridged that gap with a linux server where I've dual homed
that server and installed Samba.
I used smbmount to mount the drive (passing -o username=,password=) to a
point on my server (say /opt/hq). From the server I can then browse
/opt/hq
The way I'm doing it (which may be wrong) is I setup in my smb.conf a
setting for hq and pointed it to /opt/hq
Then I use my windows boxes (12 98 boxes, and 1 2K box) to connect to
the
//localservername/hq share thru samba, and that's where I get prompted
for a password.
No matter what password I put in, it's wrong. I get an error saying that
username / password is invalid.
Do I have this setup totally wrong?
Thanks in advance.
