Thanks. One other thing - Are you mounts available at the command line  
or only in some GUI file browser like nautilus. I know that fine  
managers these days do often provide auto-mounting of remote file  
systems like this, smb, sshfs etc., but these mounts are only visible  
in the file manager. I want them mount like any other proper  
filesystem, at the command line.

So, just out of interest how exactly do you mount your shares, and how  
are they visible ?
