No access allowed to shares

I have used the instructions in this to create subdirectories as /Media/Music etc as per server and get access to the shares on HDA, but I can not copy files to those share. In my 'places' menu the folders on the server are shown as disks, which I can read, but can't copy anything to.

I have also tried to redirect some of the server folders to folders on my remote computer as per here. They all show, but there is no content shown in the local folders although there is material on the server so the link must have been lost.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding. I thought the following would match the media/Music directory on the remote computer to the hda/Music share, but it seems its creating another mounted drive;
sudo nano /etc/fstab

* Add this line at the end:

//hda/Music /media/Music cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0


What might prevent access to the shares? Thanks!

could you try the following:
hda:/Music
instead of //hda/Music?

Thanks! Regretfully it doesn't work, I get the following:

mount -a
retrying with upper case share name
mount error(6): No such device or address
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
