This problem was studies by cebesius and he found that the samba server version in dns-323 does not support the new authentication protocol used by ubuntu 8.10 but expects the weaker lanman. (see http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6238553&postcount=5)

The fix is to add this line to /etc/samba/smb.conf below the [global] section:

client lanman auth = yes

This worked for my ch3snas as well which is very similar to the dns-323.
