Some detail hoping it will help:

NB - the reports above resonate with my experience, but I thing the
Subject line is misleading.  I am filing my report here because I
believe it is easier to spot a different bug posted as the same, than to
find the same bug posted as different.  Be kind to me - I mean well ;)

All my samba servers have (amongst others) a public share (Samba logs me
on as nobody, nogroup if credentials are not supplied) and a user share
which (naturally) needs credentials.

I too get the 'not mounted' message but this is a timing problem - after
getting the message I invariably find the share is now mounted, whether
the public share or my user share.

User shares give no problem as far as I can see.  My credentials are
collected and it all works.

Public shares give a problem if my credentials are needed.   For
instance, in the public share is a staff_only folder.   Even when I try
to connect to public giving my user name, I end up as nobody, nogroup
and so, of course, I cannot get into the staff_only folder.  Hardy does
not ask me for credentials.

If I try to connect giving the staff_only folder as well as my user
share name, Hardy does ask for my credentials.   However, Hardy seems
not to use them, and I still end up as nobody, nogroup and still cannot
get into the folder.

It seems as though Hardy looks to see if credentials are required, and
if not, will not present them.

The change I would hope to see is a reversion to Feisty-Gutsy behaviour
which I never noticed because it just worked, but I think credentials
were presented to samba if they were required OR IF THEY WERE OFFERED.

If I give no UserName when connecting, I expect to be nobody, nogroup
If I give a user name I expect my credentials to be verified with samba 
(currently they are not) and then to be username,primarygroup, even when 
connecting to a public share.

My Sambas range from an old Mandrake to the latest Debian.

Let me know if you need any config files etc.
