I had the some similar problems with shared folders on vista host and ubuntu guest oS. Worked it around by sharing the drive as samba mount point and the permissions etc issue were history: Do a network share of windows folder (e.g. \\GAURAV-PC\media)
On the guest OS: # mkdir -p /mnt/media # smbmount //GAURAV-PC/media /mnt/media -o username=gaurav,password=welcome # more /etc/hosts GAURAV-PC 192.168.0.2 # ping GAURAV-PC HAS to work when you give the smbmount command.

Hi All, have run into problems with shared folders on an OpenSolaris host with Windows XP SP3 as a guest. The shared folder is accessible from within the guest, however: - all files are reported with 0 bytes size - files cannot be deleted from the guest side - running, e.g., installers from the shared folder works fine but copying files over results in files with size 0. Can anyone advise on how to remedy these problems? The settings are of course set to full access. Much obliged, Hakim -- S.
