You'll have to actually mount them to be able to access them from the
command line or to use anything other than Gnome to access those files
because if you notice, the address for the shares from Network Servers,
it starts with smb:// meaning your actually not browsing a "mounted"
filesystem.  Think of it as just browsing the SMB network as you would a
web site instead of http://.  To actually mount an SMB share, you can
use the smbmount command if you have smbfs package installed.
