I am for sure using same username/password when mounting via Finder or my application. The application does mount the SMB drive successfully, I just get that -36 error and no FSVolumeRefNum which makes determining the actual mountpoint and unmounting later more difficult.

I'm trying to use 'FSMountServerVolumeSync' to mount a SMB drive.

For example:

error = FSMountServerVolumeSync(urlSrcName, 0L,
(CFStringRef)userName,
(CFStringRef)password,
(FSVolumeRefNum *)returnRefNum,
0L /* OptionBits, currently unused */
);

Where urlSrcName is 'smb://fileserver/public'. The volume actually mounts
and I can see it if I do a 'df' from the terminal window, though it doesn't
appear in Finder. But FSMountServerVolumeSync always returns a '-36' ioErr
and the returnRefNum is empty. Without the returnRefNum, it's tough to find
name of the mountpoint so my app can translate the paths to the files and I
can't unmount using 'FSEjectVolumeSync'. This happens on both MacOSX 10.4
and 10.5.
