Can't access Western Digital My Book World Edition via CIFS  
I am trying to mount a share on a WD My Book World Edition 2tb network drive using CIFS. The mount appears to succeed, 
but when I actually try to access the mounted directory, it fails. On the My Book logs the connection appears to succeed
, and there are no errors logged. The "kevin" account has full admin and access privileges; FTP, for instance, works 
fine. I have had no trouble doing this with shares on Windows machines. Any help would be appreciated.

/home/kevin # mount -t cifs -o user=kevin,password=xxxx //mybookworld:10.4.1.189:/kevin /kevin
/home/kevin # ls /kevin
ls: No such file or directory (/kevin)
/home/kevin # ls /

Re: Can't access Western Digital My Book World Edition via CIFS  
Turns out that this device also supports NFS, and, in fact, recommends NFS for non-Windows clients. So, I tried it, and 
it seems to work fine. That goes for both Neutrino, and 4.25.

It would still be nice to know why CIFS doesn't work, though.
