vsftpd: access network directories possibe?

I have a Fedora Core 5 machine on a cablemodem with FQDN. I run vsftpd
for FTP server and apace for a web server. I have quite a few gigs on my
XP machine on the home LAN that I would like to share with people on the
FTP server at times. Rather than copy all of that stuff to the FC5
machine where the vsftpd server is running, I would like to make a link
or mount in the ftp pub directory so that my ftp visitors can follow the
link or enter the mounted cifs XP share and have read access to the files
on my XP machine.
I have the XP share mounted with cifs on the FC5 machine as /mnt/test and
all of the files are fully accessable for reading (XP machine file system
is NTSF), but when I make a symlink to the mounted XP share, vsftpd gives
a permission denied message. I then mounted the XP share again under the
pub directory in the vsftpd home and now the files can be access by
entering the mounted share and the directory list is available and all
the files are displayed as normal. Here is the command:
mount -t cifs -o
credentials=/etc/smbpasswd.cifs,directio,uid=ohmster,gid=ohmster,rw,dir_m
ode=0755,file_mode=0644,iocharset=utf8 //missy/ohmster_music
/home/ftpsite/pub/test
The problem occurs if I try to download a file. (I am using CuteFTP 4 as
a test on my XP machine, visiting the site by it's FQDN.) The file fails
to download and the FTP client continues to try and download it. Here is
the FTP client output:

And the FTP client continues to fail the download, reconnect, try to
download again, fail, reconnect, etc.
What is the problem here? Is it possible to make a link or mount in an
FTP pub directory to access and download files from a networked share on
the home LAN? I really want to do this as it makes it not neccessary to
copy gigs of data over to the machine and it is easy to create, move, or
delete a link to control access. Same goes for a mount.
Can anyone shed some light on accessing network shares via FTP to a Linux
machine? Is it possible, and if so, how do you do it? Thanks.
