This was a bitch to figure out. It had been working for months, and I have no idea why it broke, but anyway, the tip in this ArsTechnica forum thread did the trick:
Start->Run->secpol.msc
Find “Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) clients”, untick all the boxes.
Find “Network security: LAN Manager authentication level”, change to “Send LM & NTLM — use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated”.
I fucking hate CIFS/SMB/Samba/whatever-the-fuck. And I hate computer security. What a bunch of bullshit.

Hmm; I failed entirely to get Leopard to access shared files from a Vista machine, which is one of the reasons I went back to XP MCE instead of Vista for my media PC.
This is probably the trick I needed. But why does it need to be so obscure.
