the first thing jumping to the naked eye is the
interface 127.0.0.1-
thats local loopback only
(a piece of software that imitates network for certain other software)

see if in your smb.conf theres a line beginning with 'interfaces',
and add your ipadress here

same with smbmount,
why would it look for godzilla on loopback?

i run through your post again,
this is getting more curious by the minute-
did you take 127.0.0.1 as your ipadress?


another info it gives you is this:
smbmnt must be installed suid root
(only root can mount, unless otherwise specified)
did you run smbmount as root?

sorry i'm sincerely puzzled
