In 2.10 code, there is a problem if username is given while accessing a
samba server. smb-method code does not prompt for authentication and
fails to connect the server. I fixed the bug after 2.10 is out, as part
of http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172695. If you get 2.11 or
latest gnome-vfs, you will not see the problem.

As a workaround, don't give username while filling the samba server
details. Just give machine name/ip address and share details. You will
be prompted for username, domain and password. Please let know if it
works.
