      Ok, so a new issue I'm having on another server...

      I think it has something to do with the escape character...

      //172.16.255.6/GoFlex\ Home\ Personal   /media/goflex_dallas    auto    defaults,credentials=/home/aj/.smbcredentials   0       0
      //172.16.255.5/GoFlex\ Home\ Personal   /media/goflex_landcare  auto    defaults,credentials=/home/aj/.smbcredentials   0       0
      //172.16.255.6/GoFlex\ Home\ Personal   /srv/samba/share/goflex_dallas  auto    defaults,credentials=/home/aj/.smbcredentials   0       0
      //172.16.255.5/GoFlex\ Home\ Personal   /srv/samba/share/goflex_landcare        auto    defaults,credentials=/home/aj/.smbcredentials   0       0
      

      However, this is how it looks...

      upload-03bef81b-2cea-42f0-a75c-1b815ac85d80

      It's saying there is a syntax error at auto, but I know that's right. The whole command is right. The only difference between this and my other Plex server is the escape character for the space in the share name, which I can't change...

        You are definitely missing the the quotes on some of those.

          Where? and what kind of quotes?

            Shouldn't it look something like this?

            //172.16.255.6/"GoFlex Home Personal"

              That's still saying it's wrong too.

                Good start, at least.

                  The other thing you can do is this:

                  "//172.16.255.6/GoFlex Home Personal"
                  

                  But you shouldn't need to. Is there any other in-depth logs for this? Or does it just not work?

                    Tried that too. That is not working either, and it's showing as a syntax error. It just doesn't work.

                      This did it.
                      http://www.simpit.com/wordpress/?p=626

                      The syntax is:

                      //172.16.255.6/GoFlex\040Home\040Personal

                          The issue was the spaces. Even with the escape character, it was not liking the space. Thus you use the escape character backslash and then 040 to symbolize a space.

                            That's interesting. Quotes without the escapes should make that unnecessary. Interesting way to fix it, though.

                              Yeah, the quotes was still showing it as a syntax error.
