What version of Samba are you running? Bugzilla is showing a heap of W2K3 bugs with some versions of samba.
From just searching and reading, I'm getting the feeling you're not actually doing anything wrong, but that it is a Samba issue, not yours.

That would make me feel better. Because I feel like I have a good grasp on Samba, so thus the reason this is so puzzling. I believe I'm using 3.0.2-7.

The fact that you mount the remote share at all means you are authenticating - be it the correct credentials or not. I've lost the original thread - what is the syntax of the command you are using to mount?
