Ok, got a step further...
It worked for me, then I have used your fstab and it does not work.
If I open the scene In XSI on linux, then I cannot open the scene on windows.
XSI (not XSIBatch) returns a sharing violation error.
BUT: I can view/copy the file with any other windows app...

Testing some mount settings now.
If anyone can compare their mount/fstab settigs with these one:

//animserver/PROJECTS   /mnt/animserver/projects     smbfs      username=sandy,password=######,uid=500,gid=100,fmask=777,dmask=7777
0 0
