I have experienced the same issue with Latest Jaunty update. I first noticed that when I opened Windows netwroks, it contains no items although I do have one window 2000 in the network and in the same workgroup. After I rebooted my machine, I saw the error about failed to mount the location. Right now, I either encounter the error, or no error, but 0 items listed. However, if I go to Places->connect to Server, and type in my windows 2000 machine name, shared drive, I can successfully connect to the remote server and see all the files. I can also transfer files without problem. So it looks like Samba is still working, but just the windows network browse is broken.
When I first installed Jaunty alpha 3, it worked and I could even see files in windows 7 beta shares. It broke in the recent update (happened in last week or two).
