My mistake, the path which is dragged into the terminal is the
gnome-vfs path which is NOT exported as a filesystem mount:
smb://{hostname}/windowspath/logs/myfile.txt
The fact that Nautilus's (gnome-vfs) smb/nfs/davfs... mounts are not
exported as mount points is one of the reasons that the GNOME community
is in the process of replacing the gnome-vfs backend with gvfs which
will be able to export these mountpoints via FUSE:
