The paths in the library/database would be wrong so MC wouldn't know where to find the files.  Samba shares work fine with MC, but if MC thinks the files are at /mnt/data/audio/* and they're actually at c:\Users\Audio the client won't be able to find them.

Thanks.  I'm looking forward to this correction in future releases.

This. My Samba shares are on my linux box (as is my MC server). I found if I created the library using the local mounts (/media/music) for instance, when I tried to access that library using a windows client the file location (/media/music) couldn't be found (obviously).

Mounting the Samba share locally on the linux machine and creating the library on the server using the Samba share locations solved this.
