I guess the remote machine has this enabled, since I can browse into
the symlink directories using Windows "Map Network Drive". Another guy
running RH 9 (smbmount version 2.2.x ?) can mount the remote
directories and browse into symlinks.

How to enable it ?
From smb.conf.5.html
follow symlinks (S)
This parameter allows the Samba administrator to stop smbd(8) http://127.0.0.1:901/swat/help/smbd.8.html from following symbolic links in a particular share. Setting this parameter to no prevents any file or directory that is a symbolic link from being followed (the user will get an error). This option is very useful to stop users from adding a symbolic link to /etc/passwd in their home directory for instance. However it will slow filename lookups down slightly.
This option is enabled (i.e. *smbd* will follow symbolic links) by default.
Default: //follow symlinks/ = yes /
