Manne,

	I second GT's (not Grant's) suggestion that you mount the drive instead of 
accessing it dynamically. I would also suggest you use a batch file to do it 
(saves typing and you call create a convenient alias in .bashrc) Here is an 
example of a script that can mount multiple shares and your credentials are 
contained in a separate file for safe keeping. Just change the variable as needed:

#!/bin/bash

## check_root

if [[ $UID != "0" ]]; then
        echo -e "\n\n\tThis program must be run as 'root', you with UID=$UID won't 
do.\n"
        exit 1
fi

## define variables and mount share 1

SERVER="//zion"
OPTS=$(cat /home/david/bin/mntops_dcr)
SHARE="/config"
MPOINT="/mnt/zion-cfg"

if mount | grep -q "on ${MPOINT} type"; then
        echo "${MPOINT} already mounted"
else
    if [[ ! -d ${MPOINT} ]]; then
        mkdir -p ${MPOINT} >/dev/null 2>&1
    fi
        mount.cifs ${SERVER}${SHARE} ${MPOINT} ${OPTS}
fi

## define and mount share 2

SHARE="/david"
MPOINT="/mnt/zion-david"

if mount | grep -q "on ${MPOINT} type"; then
        echo "${MPOINT} already mounted"
else
    if [[ ! -d ${MPOINT} ]]; then
        mkdir -p ${MPOINT} >/dev/null 2>&1
    fi
        mount.cifs ${SERVER}${SHARE} ${MPOINT} ${OPTS}
fi

exit 0


        Your credential file "mntops_dcr" would contain:

        -o username=david,uid=1000,password=xxxyyyzzz
