SMB sharing issue - B4UTRUST - 2013-04-29

Alright, I'm not sure where else to turn at this point so I'm hoping someone may be able to help me out.

I've got a Asus Transformer TF700T running XBMC 12.1 Frodo. Somehow I managed to get it to communicate with my HTPC on my network and build a library. Everything worked, everything was great, everyone rejoiced it was a happy day. Go back the next day to play something else and now it's saying it can't connect, it's viewing every movie and episode as no longer there and wanting to remove it from the library. This, to me makes absolutely not a single bit of sense. At all. Nothing changed on the HTPC. It wasn't rebooted or updated, but now for some reason the tablet isn't connecting. It is driving me absolutely nuts. I've tried everything I can think of from removing and recreating the shares on the HTPC to completely restoring the tablet back to factory to try again. That of course didn't help. I can go into Astro file manager and connect to the computer and see the folders and files. As soon as I try to access a file to open it I'm given a popup saying 'An error has occurred. open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory).' Which again, makes absolutely no sense to me. I've completely restored the tablet but yet it can see these shares as soon as I add the SMB location to the tablet. Other computers on the network can see and access the files fine. The files are still clearly visible on the computer itself. The files are intact and aren't corrupted. I'm just kind of at my wits end here and ready to throw the tablet through a window.

My HTPC is running Win 7 Pro. The homegroup is disabled, the folders are shared out. There is no username/pass required to access the shared folders.
The tablet is a Asus Transformer TF700T running Android 4.2.1 and XBMC Frodo 12.1 on the latest build from the front page.

I'm hoping someone has a suggestion or idea that I haven't gone through to figure out how my tablet has gone from working fine to not accessing any networked file. Because as I said, I'm at my wits end and ready to throw it.

Edit: To add something else I'm noticing that may be relevant - Under Astro, now all my directories/filenames have a '/' in front of their names whereas before I do not believe they did. If that is somehow involved great, if not I'm still stuck.

You may want to post a log and a copy of your sources.xml file.

I've been having the same problem on my Pivos (Linux) and my Nexus 10, but not my windows 7 machine. I use advancedsettings.xml and pathsubstitution for passwords.xml,sources.xml,mediasources.xml, and addons_data.

First I was just not getting the Pivos to show any of the sources or media sources as well as my mythtv addon not finding the settings (so it would fail). Then after awhile (around when I started to try using passwords.xml) it got worse and neither device would start up. If I don't use a passwords.xml entry in advancedsetting I can startup, but everything else is just messed up. But like I said my windows 7 machine is fine. Permission look fine on my linux server to those samba shares.[/code]
