I dont mind gui but I had already tried it, got permissions denied but couldn't figure why.

Well, to be able to mount samba shares (cifs) we need mount.cifs contained in package 'smbfs' that depend himself on package 'samba-common'.

And there is error in postinstallation script of the package 'samba-common', leaving the packages unconfigured.

I have tried to fix it but now the sed regex used in this script was mis-interpreted by busybox sed :-(

I'm trying to do my best but I do not promise anything on this subject ...

Seems we need kernel-module-cifs. With this installed I ran the following command and it successfully mounted the drive

Code:
mount -t cifs //192.168.2.2/f$/ /home/user/MyDocs/KaosExt -o user=remote,pass=****
N.B. - I used IP not netbios name, and I dropped off ",ip=192.168.2.2,direct" from the end of the command that I was previously running. Happy now, now just need to search how to write a script that will auto sync.
