I'm sorry to say that I just don't know enough about SMB or have a setup
where I can even try some of these things at home.

So, the best suggestion I can come up with is to try to locate someone
who knows smb and samba (perhaps someone in the samba team?) who is
interested in the desktop and try to get them to help out. It shouldn't
be that hard for them to grasp the code, because the smb method in
gnome-vfs 2.6 is just a very thin wrapper over libsmb (from samba).
