Mount.cifs is a different mailing list.

kill -9 PID should kill anything, but you aren't being nice to the process
doing that.

Mount.cifs is a kernel module and so does no logging to the samba logs.
Look in the kernel related logs.

You could try going the other way with a scheduled xcopy job from the W2K3
server off the RHAS4 server. You could take one of the examples from the
first few chapters of the Samba3 by example book online and make up a simple
share. Something like this should do:
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = COPYWORLD
netbios name = Firebird
comment = Firebird database server
server string = Firebird database server
security = SHARE
disable spoolss = Yes
show add printer wizard = No
wins server = 10.0.0.2
hosts allow = 10.0.0.(W2K3IP), 127.
[Firebird]
comment = Firebird database
path = /data/Firebird
force user = iceserver
force group = iceservergroup
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
nt acl support = No
Look at the book for the rest of the configs and procedures. This may not
be as secure as you would like, Caveat Emptor.........
