you need to mount the filesystem, I doubt XMMS has built in samba support.

smbmount is the usual command though it may not be installed by default.

according to the manpage for mount ... >>



Mount options for smbfs
       Just like nfs, the smb  implementation  expects  a  binary
       argument  (a  struct  smb_mount_data)  to the mount system
       call. This argument is constructed by smbmount(8) and  the
       current  version  of  mount  (2.9w) does not know anything
       about smb.
