NSLU2 & Twonky & remote directories with smbmount

Hello all -

I have spent the last two days trying to find a solution to my
problem with only very limited success. Maybe someone here can help
me. Wound be great :-))

I have a NAS (WD-NetCenter from Western Digital) and the NSLU2. I
cannot run anything on the NAS directly.

I am running V2.3R63-uNSLUng-6.10-beta from a USB stick on port 2.
I have also installed the latest version of Twonky.

I would like to mount a public directory from the NAS on the NSLU2
and make it available to Twonky.

I am able to mount the directory using smbmount

smbmount //192.168.123.1/video /mnt/video -o
password=pass,uid=501,gid=501,fmask=777,dmask=777

When I log on to the NSLU2 with different users using SSH, I can
always read and write to the remote directory.

However, Twonky only sees the local directory but not the remote one.
If I copy a mp3 file to /mnt/video (before running smbmount), Twonky
sees it within seconds.
If I then mount the remote directory, Twonky still only sees the one
mp3 file in the local directory.

Any idea how I can get Twonky to access the remote directory?

Any suggestion is most welcome. Thank you!
