I have a related question. I usually mount my shares manually using afp, not smb ("connect to server" menu item). The reason I do this is because of the following problem.

I don't want to disable the smb service on the NAS b/c I have windows machines in the house.
Thanks.
I know I can now use some of the automount suggestions in this post (and I will), but I am still curious about this old problem.
