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

Before you buy.

Don't know if this is all of your problem but 127.0.0.1 is your local
loopback. The interface address I would think should be the ip address of
your host. I think you need a entry in your /etc/hosts file for your
machine if you do not have one.

Surely this should read 

netbios name = RODAN

???

Other more experienced people have pointed out other problems, so I
shan't blather on anymore.
