If your problem is authentication, no. But if your credentials are
accepted, my message from July 18th might be relevant:

I was going to find somewhere in the wiki to put this, but I'm still
not completely sure that this is the way it's meant to work. Of
course, it's nice and flexible in the sense that you can create a
custom namespace for use by smb clients, but it ought to be
documented.

One way to make sure that the authentication is working is to browse
\\host\sources or \\host\dump, or another share name corresponding to
a 9fs argument.
