You have to make sure that permissions on the Windows box allow the
user/password with which you mounted the drive to access the folder(s)
on the remote machine. It sounds as if that's not the case.

Thanks for the response.
What puzzles me is that I never have any problem
accessing all files and folders if I login on the Windows machine
(with the same name and password that I use in Samba).

I must admit I don't understand the Windows XP Pro permission setup;
Can you suggest a document that describes this?

On the Windows box, set the Administrator password (XP Pro), or make
sure your account has administrative rights (XP Home).

Then make sure that account--Administrator, or your account--has full
rights on all files/folders on the drive. This is more problematic on
XP Home machines, since you don't have the full security model available
to you.

How exactly does one determine if one has "full rights" on a folder?
Doesn't the fact that I can browse through a folder on the Windows machine
show that I have full rights on the folder?
