Numerous things all along the line can cause this to fail, including 
timeouts.


Try connecting manually first from within the nx session

ie

Find the port which is being used on the nx server for the tunnel from the 
nx server to your workstation typically 4000 et seq.

if you run

 sudo netstat -napt|grep nxagent

you will get a list, including some 7000s.

Then try

sudo mount.cifs //WORKSTATION/sharename 
where-you-want-to-mount-it-on-the-server -oip=127.0.0.1,port=4000(or 
whatever),user=whoever-you-are-on-the-workstation


and see if it mounts.

You need to ensure that the local share works, you have set the share 
password in the nxclient and the nxclient is configured set to up the 
tunnel.
