This is not a surprise, but rather misunderstanding of auth work principles.
Usually, entering to //pcwinxp/share you'll need to enter //pcwinxp first.
Thus you'll need a correct login/password to access pcwinxp server by itself.
You are not specify this password in your auth file, so you'll faced with a
problem.

The auth lines like "auth pcwinxp/share  alex alex" are usually required
when you'll need to access network resources of pcwinxp with some default
login/password pair, but //pcwinxp/share you'll need to access as some other
user.

Nevertheless, direct work with /mountpoint/pcwinxp/share (without trying to read
the contents of /mountpoint/pcwinxp) should work. Thus commands like
"ls /mountpoint/pcwinxp/share", "cp /mountpoint/pcwinxp/share/file ~/" and so on
should work as expected.
