Absolutely, see below.

Not exactly, smbclient is showing the available shares, it is not  
mounting them...

Coz its a permissions thing, using IP would not make a difference.

OK so, does this happen ONLY from FC or does it also happen on doze?
Q: Why use SMBFS for Linux clients anyway?

So it seems error code 13 is permission denied...

Have a look at the samba logs, they should give you more info.
I would first test mouting /tmp as a samba resource, make it  
unrestrictive as is the default AFAIR.
