Can't write to SMB shares through Gnome

I have a really odd problem in SuSE 9.3 Pro.

I have mounted SMB fileshares from our fileserver and I can read/write
on them from the command line no problems.

I then created a symbolic link on my desktop to those shares. The Icon

on my desktop has a small "arrow" showing that it's a symbolic link,
but then it also has a little "lock" on it and it says I do not have
write permissions to that directory.

If I navigate it through Nautilus starting from the root, I get the
same problem. This is only happening in Nautilus.

Konqueror works fine and what is really weird, is that I can drag from
a Nautilus window to a Konqueror window that is browsed to that
directory and drag and drom Naut->Konq but not visa-versa....

Any ideas?
