You still have to mount the sambashare to a mount point like 
/mnt/newshare.
Then I would start Digikam and add the new share as a new collection 
and
finaly move from within Digikam your old share collection to the new 
one.
Will probably take a while (depending on the amount of pictures), but 
sounds the safests..
