Assume??? don't assume, go check and make sure is my suggestion. You can 
use `testparm` to check your config file and then try connecting or viewing 
the shares via `smbclient`, if you can do all this then goto the next step 
and have a look at the mounts.

>/dev/hdb1  /smb_mounts/backup  vfat  defaults   1   2
>/dev/hdb2  /linux2             ext2  defaults   1   2

Being a smb share you could change that to read 
`/dev/hdb1  /smb_mounts/backup  smbfs defaults 1 2` or test it out first 
with `mount -t smbfs /dev/hdb1 /smb_mounts/backup` or use `smbmount`
