It looks like the Fedora box has the proper ports open, because you are
getting the proper response back. I am beginning to think this might be
a username issue. There are two ways you can troubleshoot this.

Run testparm on the Fedora Box, this will make sure that your smb.conf
settings are correct. 

>From the OSX side try connecting through the terminal.
smbclient //oden/eric -U [linux username]   

It should prompt for a password. If so type the linux user's password.
you should get a > prompt.  A dir command at this point should list the
files in that directory.

If this works then your problem is OSX is not connecting to fedora with
the correct user name.  The easiest way to do this IMO is to map the OSX
user to the Linux user in /etc/samba/smbusers. Let me know if you need
help doing this. 

I would also like to mention installing swat on the Fedora box.  Its is
a great tool for setting up Samba to work properly and to perform all
the necessary user setups.
