As has been documented here and many other places, on Redhat, CentOS, Fedora and other distros that come with SELinux enabled, you have to enable the SELinux boolean samba_enable_home_dirs if you export the homes share. I did this but I still could not connect to the share. The usual error message is NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME.
It turns out that you need samba_export_all_ro or more likely, samba_export_all_rw enabled to mount the share. This was on CentOS 5.5. It could be that on this distro and version both come disabled by default.
Make sure though that SELinux is the cause. There are many other reasons for NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME. A quick way to check is to set SELinux to permissive temporarily to attempt the connection.
