Hi,

I'm sorry to come back with my problem but I can still not connect to my smb drives since after nightly 20110820.

I keep getting permission denied. I'm pretty sure of my password as it is working fine with version 02110820 but no more with any later version. (trying existing source, trying to add a new source).

You find a debug log here: http://pastebin.com/kFAHz1R6.

My SMB drive is a NAS D-LINK DNS 323.

I realy hope you can help me as this is driving me crazy.
Should you need any additional info, please let me know.

Thanks in advance,

Eric

From your log file..

"Error creating /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC.."
"ERROR: Create - Error( Permission denied )"

A lot of the perrmission errors may be caused by an invalid owner for the XBMC directory.. try this from the command line.

cd /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences
ls -l XBMC

If the directory owners aren't listed as "mobile" like this;
drwxr-xr-x 22 mobile mobile 748 Sep 6 15:23 addons/
drwxr-xr-x 2 mobile mobile 68 May 13 18:32 media/
drwxr-xr-x 2 mobile mobile 68 May 13 18:32 sounds/
drwxr-xr-x 2 mobile mobile 68 May 13 18:32 system/
drwxr-xr-x 5 mobile mobile 374 Sep 8 18:01 temp/
drwxr-xr-x 7 mobile mobile 510 Sep 4 05:47 userdata/

execute the line below to change them.

chown -R mobile XBMC

Hope that helps..

Thanks rodan for your answer.

The "mobile permissions" were already correct so this did not solve my problem.

However, I've solved my problem by removing authentication on my smb server (allow everyone) and delete username-password from my XBMC config.

Not the best solution but good enough for me.
The new nightlies are so much faster...

I'm happy again

I also have the same problem as you have. I've in earlier releases successfully connected my NAS, d-link dns 323, with my ATV2 over samba, this isn't possible anymore for me either if I'm authenticating with usernames and passwords. I've now configured my NAS to use guest accounts for these shares instead.
