Bob,
    Try adding this:
    mount -t smbfs -o 
username=username,password=password,uid=user,gid=group //horsey/username 
/home/username/Horsey

In fstab this would look like this:
    //server/share /mount smbfs 
username=username,password=password,uid=user,gid=group 0 0

There are options if you don't want to put your username/password in 
fstab, but I don't recall what they are right now.
