smbfs help gurus

I need a few linux guru's.

I am trying to get my ubuntu 7.10 laptop (wireless) client to be able to see shares from my xp (setup as a file server) desktop ( hardwired to same wireless router ). I have been using this guide :

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mo...7b6660a8786c35

this is the error message i am getting
:

lucana@laptop:~$ sudo mount -a
Could not resolve mount point /home/lucana/desktop/mount
lucana@laptop:~$


this is my fstab config:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/sda1
UUID=eafe81a0-359c-4f9e-8289-a2bdc8d1b196 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /dev/sda5

//media/e: /home/lucana/desktop/mount smbfs /home/lucana/.smbcredentials,uid=1000 0 0


this is my etc/nsswitch.conf:

# /etc/nsswitch.conf
#
# Example configuration of GNU Name Service Switch functionality.
# If you have the `glibc-doc-reference' and `info' packages installed, try:
# `info libc "Name Service Switch"' for information about this file.

passwd: compat
group: compat
shadow: compat

hosts: files dns wins mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4
networks: files

protocols: db files
services: db files
ethers: db files
rpc: db files

netgroup: nis


this is my .smbcreditials file:


lucana=lucana
password=password

# OR:
# username=MyUsername@MyDomain
# password=MyPassword



I have been working on this for about a week. I also tried samba following another guide and figured this would be better. Can anyone help me out please? Thanks for all your help
